my simple CAI

Yeah, but those companies probably put a little R&D into the products they sell.
Custom ones have to be tested by US on our own buck.

I'm still not sure if my exhaust(custom of course), Magnecor wires and K&N filter are all working nicely together.

well what i did is 1. go to the swap meet, 2. buy a intake tubing (the car it was made for is unknown to me) with the filter ($25 what a steal!) 3. use a hack saw to cut some of it and reverse that piece so it faces the other way 4. buy a coupler from autozone ($6) and viola a custom CAI

well when i say custom piping, i guess i mean i had a shop bend some piping for me, i was going to change it to full piping but i havent made a final decision yet

Would be alot cooler and look better if you would have replaced the hole thing rather then only do half the job! I used a Honda Civic ram air that i got from the auto parts store.

GSR intake FTW!

does the air sensor fit correctly on the civic tube? if it dies then im gonna go buy it.

All i had to do was mill the hole out a little so that the sensor would fit with a rubber groment.

look at the picture...he's using the old intake tube that already has the sensor in it

granted it doesn't look as nice (excluding the sensor) I went with this option. I had the GSR CAI and it was a PITA. SO I just cut it short and went from the elbow down. It works the same. I also shortened the tube in the well so that the filter doesn't sit so low, yay sawl-saw!

whats the diameter on the pipe vs the diameter on the stock intake tubing?
