Intake Ideas Wanted!

I'm looking for some good intake ideas. My current one works but doesn't take too much advantage of me cutting up my headlight.

Contact Collin@toxicfab he could very easily make something up for you...I am assuming you are using a 4 inch intake? You may need to buy a smaller air filter...

Thanks for the contact. I'm thinking a smaller filter will be in my future. I have a friend at work that keeps bragging about his fab skills so i was going to let him try, but if it doesn't work out I'll try Collin.

My favorite intake is STM's 4". Although it isn't hard making your own intake. I'm having a shop make mine from parts bought at a hardware store.

Got one from Japan while overseas. It's very functional with a heat shield over the filter, yet allows enough air flow.
Look for thread #41218 on evoxforums.

I think you already have a pretty extreme setup. I would just continue to allow that huge 4 inch intake suck in air as unrestricted as possible and let that giant intercooler do it's job of cooling the air.

Not bad really I did open up the headlight and paint it at the same time. Once you have just the lens in your hand it takes a dremel and patience.
