DIY: High Flow Stock Airbox (Swiss Cheese Mod)
the furnace pipe will really help at high RPMs, it should stabilize the flow and really let it breathe on the highway good job :beer: -

Got the materials together for my oil change. O'reilly auto parts just bought out Checker's and they've been having crazy sales (all the old checker's tools are 50% off BTW). My local store just got in the O'reilly brand full synthetic motor oil, made by Shell (I think), and I decided to go...- ypsetihw

DIY: High Flow Stock Airbox (Swiss Cheese Mod)
assuming that the heater/furnace pipe holds, it will only add to it. I would do the swiss cheese AND the k&n drop in. after that, the furnace pipe will only help more. I'm very interested to see if that furnace pipe holds up or if it gets crushed/deformed, or something else. in theory... -
DIY: High Flow Stock Airbox (Swiss Cheese Mod)
wow nice job! what does that thing sound like? more importantly, how does it feel? I hope the hose has enough rigidity, x2 I would try and stiffen it/paint it. -

DIY: High Flow Stock Airbox (Swiss Cheese Mod)
dude I dunno highrollin . . . you are pushing it . . . this starts to get into a discussion of why the pre-TB baffling is there . . . the whole reason the intake is designed with all that pre-TB baffling is that the engineers are WELL AWARE that the stock intake box is lacking in airflow... -
DIY: High Flow Stock Airbox (Swiss Cheese Mod)
I've seen short ram setups available on ebay that have a silicon elbow from the TB, to a big long straight piece of aluminum pipe, to the MAF, and then a cone filter with a bracket to hold it in place. these things go for around $90 shipped, but I bet you could build one with PVC - biggest... -
DIY: High Flow Stock Airbox (Swiss Cheese Mod)
yeah the holes are on the bottom with the filter above, your airbox pulls clean air from the TOP half of the airbox . . . go look at it carefully and you'll see - cut the holes in the BOTTOM/DIRTY half of the box only like so [ Clean Side ] > Intake/MAF -----Filter------ [... -
DIY: High Flow Stock Airbox (Swiss Cheese Mod)
valid question - water in your engine could potentially cause it to stall or even hydrolock, but you'd have to suck up TONS of it all at once, basically by submerging the intake in a bucket at high RPMs. think about it - when you use seafoam, you suck liquid into the engine. when you add...
