conan - thx, piping straight to the front can also, as long as you can direct the outside air into ur fillter. i'm using Buddyclub bumper

Isnt the tupperware is too small and your openpod will be suffocating during WOT high revs ?

[/COLOR]tigger - nope it isn't...right now my car is idling from the engine bay heat from the top and at high revs n high speed its sucking the outside air from the CAI

I am keeping most of my original intake pipes and the original airbox.

I removed the original filter element, leaving the frame to make up the airbox. I also remove the U-snorkel at the front. I also need to trim the hose a bit to get the 3" filter fitted nicely.

In this modification, you only need to spend on buying the filter. Cheapest, neatest and most effective cold air induction.

i already have the filter...hehe
so the diy is pretty much free!

but...i need to find 3' industrial hose

Why? Where's your original intake?

My engine bay looks stock with this setup.

i have my old filter pipings...i only dont know where to find an extension from the airbox to the open pod only...btw, how did you secure the open pod's to ur soft fender?

 

[drexchan]

You don't need to have any extension. There's supposed a section before the airbox, which comes with the car. I didn't secure it by any means, just clamp it onto the intake pipe.

I painted one of the section silver for easy recognition (did this 4/5 years ago).

Remove the black section, keep the silver section, but cut the joint by an inch, clamp the filter just right there.

owh.....like that....yeah, i have that piece

If change to bigger onces ..how to fit wor ? ..Even this small tupperware also had difficulties when placing the battery ..Hmm ..Not sure what you meant by big ..

 

[tigger5251]

i mean bigger tupperware, more space for the air circulation to feed the apexi openpod

PocRoc: You do the weirdest things.... I know what you can do next. A special place for your "pet" in the car.

 

[tigger5251]

hamster ? haha

 

[Bevan]

Really not hamster. If you see you confirm run

 

[drexchan]

Forget about tupperware. Go for the real deal.

 

[tigger5251]

imho, use back oem airbox, connect a 3" hose into the airbox. mission complete!
