did you use the adapter from the stock airbox?
where did you get the bends?
why did you put it on when winter is coming now?

Nice. Brian no need to remove for winter. It sits WAY higher than the traditional CAI. And the area that it does it in is WAY more protected from water and especially DIRT.

Nice job GreenMax!

The whole job took about a hour and a half to do with a beer break in there somewhere,it was easy...Just took a little imagination for the battery tray..

I bought the main tube off fleabay already polished,it's aluminum..

But I was busy and didn't think of it

Nothing really....That piece of metal on the battery tie down screw is kinda holding it in place until my lazy **** breaks out the welder to make a bracket....

The piece of metal is actually the bracket from the stock intake that bolts to the strut tower.....

When i had mine running behind the light it made an awesome noise. I notices a tiny bit less low end power, and a little bit more in the 4500 rpm range. But that may be my mind... it may be that the noise got louder sounding then and i just "felt" more power.
