Home made CAI

there is another thread for the swiss cheese airbox
http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14022
but i thought i would show my work for my CAI

ok so i did mine and i can not express enough how impressed i was with the improvement
heres some pics of what i did

so when i removed the airbox as shown above i saw the plate it sits on can be removed

so i did to see what was underneath and its a perfect spot for air to shoot up

so i removed the plate and decided to cut a hole in it

i then cut hole in the bottom of the airbox

to keep any debris from getting in i then took some screen cut it to size and staple gunned and hot glued it on

now for the air tube from the MAF to the TB

so i removed the baffled plastic from the maf to the tb and replaced it with flex tin hose for furnace vents it came in like a 3ft chunk 4" in diameter i then used hose clamps to hold it on, works well and i think it looks not to shabby

and thanks to an idea from the hoe92 i coated with box liner to make it black and help seal it

hope you enjoy it

Furnace vent $14, Can of Bedliner $10, two 5" hose clamps, k&n filter $40 and the rest was free just a little work

So. You paid $65ish for this

You know that you can get a eBay CAI for $75ish shipped right?

not to canada i cant, plus i had bought the k&n filter first not planning to go with a cai, and i have found some for 130ish but for 25 more i could do this plus with this set up less warm air i would figure would get in and have heard some bad reviews on the cheap cai's
