home made cold air intake
well i got a little bored this afernoon and started messing with an idea ive had about building a coold air intake and i did this one for under five bucks which is in my price range all i had to do was go to home depot and get a 3 inch 45 degree cupling and cut up some extra pipe left over from the potato cannon i made a few years back and put ita all together and it works it didnt give me like huge hp numbers but it should help a little bit geting that colder air compared to the hot engine bay air!

Re: home made cold air intake
I've seen this be done a lot of different ways with dryer vent hose, and whatnot. I think I would go with more of a stock setup. Something with a little more flexability that could be modified easily.

Re: home made cold air intake
Looks a little on the ridged side and since the engine does move something may give that you may not want to, just a thought.

Re: home made cold air intake
Sounds like you have it planned out, and a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
