slk850,

how did you mount the hose to the airbox? Some superlon and double sided tape i assume?

beware of the heat.. i might drop-off when the heat melts the adhesive on the double sided tape..

From the Pic i posted, you can see if without superlon wrapping the CAI pipe. There are small gabs around the pipe between the air box. So, after warpping the pipe with superlon and tigh it by cable tigh.
Then push the pipe out abit from air box so that the superlon will fit ngam ngam from the air box's hole. No double side tab needed. B)

Hope my words dun confuse u all. :P

fred,

CAI means optimised combustion because got colder air. (colder air means denser in OXYGEN!)

for those who got prob wif insects.. flowers n stuff suck in.. put netting at the mouth of the pipe...

can lower down de percentage of water tryin to enter also.. ehehe.. but there is still posibilities of water goin in la..so when rain drive slowly.. = safe for ur car n safe for urself..

[szekeiemme]

well.. if u install ur CAI hose in front of bumper... then de air going in will be faster cos it is forced into it.. when ur car moves.. then it create some higher pressure in ur airbox..

am i rite?

what you mentioned is ram air.. no ram air doesn't work at the normal speed our car can travel. Air is incompressible at speed below the top speed.

I tried it. SImply say that, the longer and more bend the hose is, the higher the restriction too. If any ram air effect were to occur, it will be cancelled out by the bends.

Get me?

Those are not metal/alloy pipe, is made of plastic and rubber.
You can place your order from Stanley Tai aka Ninja_iga.
I only sell those pipe within Penang Islands.

Happy DIY ! B)
