custom intake piping?
what do you guys think of running some custom intake piping to get some extra cool air to the air filter - - i did this on my old car - - i put an air collector at the front grill somewhere and ran 3" vacuum hose up to the air intake - - not that this does anything - - it does force some added air to the filter (especially when ur driving - - kind of ram air like . .) and in my opinion it looks cool with the air collector behind the grill . . . . . . comments? . . . .

its possible. another idea is to get one of them ac duct outlets, mount that possibly in the front as a collector and run the piping to the filter. uhm one thing u might be worreid about with plastic though is the temperatures, i'd hate to see u melt it...

What do you mean by "vacuum hose"? The only vacuum hose I'm familiar with under the hood of the car are the small black tubes running all over the engine. I don't think you want to run a tube that's only a few millimeters in diameter as an intake apparatus...

hehe he might mean like a vaccum cleaner type hose...i kno some DSM ppl that use that clothes dryer hose ( that like 6" flexable weird thing coming out of a dryer to vent the hot air) as a way to get more air to the filter. looks ghetto...but it works if your jus going for go.

hes talking about something like weapon r did, i'll find the link..
here it is..
http://*******************/ramair.html
except, i think, rather than adapting it to a short ram, he means just putting it into the stock airbox somewhere. this right?

if you guys want some ghetto intake idea, or even serious one, just PM me or something. i have even seen a guy take some cofee filters, a MAs adaptor, some dyer hose and some rubber bands. he ran the dryer hose like u normally would, put some cofee filters on the mas adaptors, and used a rubber band to hold it down and then put the dryer hose over all that. it worked really good. you just have to stop every once in a while to put in a new cofee filter

another good way but expensive is to relocate your battery in the trunk. take your left headlight to a custom shop. ask them to cut out the turn signal and plastic mold a tube in place and then you can place a cone filter behind the hole and then run whatever tube you can find to the mass airflow sensor. greatly increases cold air intake. if you can do it, it works great, but it is pricy and tedious
