i have been reading on here that it is reccomended that you leave the stock "snorkel" on even when you have installed an aftermarket intake. that works fine for people who have the injen style intake... fits no problem. on the other hand, i have the k@n (did not know before i bought it) so it did not fit. being the person that i am... i decided to make a custom one... let me know what you guys think... its ok to be honest, i am sure it will evolve anyway...

(used to look like this)


(now)

 

Damn dude!! I love that thing! It looks clean as HELL!!!! I want one like that.

 

I think that is great, only thing I would do would be is not taper it som much and perhaps extend the length a bit.

great Job.

 

that looks great [wheels turning in head]

 

i tried to mimic the shape of the oem, i have another one that extends back further, but i am not sure about the metal choice, tell you guys what i am going to try the other one... be back with pics.

 

Redesign v.2 should be larger, meaning the space below it now should part of the "intake". Just generally larger overall... What material did you use?

 

Did you switch out the filter on that K&N sri? Mine has a different air filter.

 

should have gone with RMR SRI. It supports the stock snorkel. Your looks good as well......good job.

 

how bout this one?

 

the filter is not k@n...

 

You should try to make one that opens up more when it gets closer to the filter. Like if the opening dropped down and opened up more?

 

Looks pretty nice. Any plans for a heatshield?

 

heatshield is next on the agenda... just have to figure out how i am going to do it, i have a few ideas, but it is going to take some development

 

do you guys think that the shield should encase the filter, or simply surround it on all sides but one (the front)... hard to explain what i am talking about

 

not that it would be a big issue... but what about heat soak? that's aluminum, right? i can imagine the effects of heat soak under the hood would be worse than with the piece of the stock airbox that would go in your new part's spot.

i doubt we'd have any real issues with heat soak considering an intake doesn't do much for our cars ANYWAY, but it's something to consider.
