homemade intak adapter???
Yes, Yes, I have used the SEARCH FUNCTION, but still can't get what I am looking for. I went to autozone today and bought a spectrum cone filter. I know they sell intake adapters but I would like to make my own. Does anyone know how to make one and if they do will you please post them step by step. I appreciate it very much. Also, how will this cone itake sound on my car 91 GXE? Thank you.

I built my own CAI for my 94 GXE......sounds great but took me a while to build and you need the proper tools....if you have the $$ i recommend just buying the CAI from www.cattmanperformance.com.... that's what i realized like 1/2 way through the project...anyway its not too hard, if you have any questions, respond to this post and ill help you out.

You dont even have to buy an adapter. All you have to buy is a cone filter ($25 at PepBoys for APC cone filter). Now, take apart your stock airbox. Look inside it and you'll see this brass looking round thing. Use this piece as the adapter. If I remember it's held in with two rivets; you'll have to drill those out. Now, take out that brass piece and there's your adapter. Put the filter on that (you'll have to bend the edges of the "adapter" straight because they curl over, you'll see what I mean when you get it all out and take a look) and bolt it up. I had this setup for almost a year before I got my CAI a couple months ago. Pop-charger for 25 bucks, cant beat that. Good luck.
BTW, I was on Nopi.com earlier and saw that they're selling the adapaters with the filter INCLUDED for like $27...

That is exactly what I did except I took my dremel it and cut of the lip.
