Custom Cold Air Intake. Opinions?
I want to get this K&N filter.
I'll have a shop bend me the pipe for almost free.
Here is the filter dimensions. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Part number RR-3002.

Good idea / bad idea? Opinions?
Trying to cut corners on car mods to save up for air bags.

Go all out and buy the total package...cutting corners will most likely screw you over in the long run. I'm not saying that airbags are not important, I'm just sayin save up for the airbags first to get them out of the way and never cut corners when modding!

safety first
Safety first bro. Gaining a few extra hp is cool...but dying in a car accident because you didn't have an airbag, well...thats just plain stupid. Air bags are expensive I know...check ebay, I've seen a couple on there before.

Well The shop would do it for almost free. Putting a CAI on the car to make it faster which is going to help a lot. But if I loose 1/4" radius I'm not to worried. I'm looking to make my Max faster, not to make it FAST. I know that my 4th gen will never be fast. I accept that. If I had a 2k2 or 2k3 and got a Super charger then I'd be fast.
Understand I grew up with American Muscle and they are trying to break into the 12's with N/A motor's. With my Max I'm lucky to be in the 14's. Kinda see my point?
Anyway I am really into custom fabrication of stuff. That's why I can buy things that I can't build. As in; I install **** myself or make it, then I save money to buy Rims or Air Suspension...etc. Just my mindset I guess.
Thanks for everyone's opinion!

$66 is a rip off for the filter. If it includes the MAF adapter then it's not too expensive, you can still get it for less.
From the looks of what you want, just do a cone intake and make your own upper piping, hybrid style.

i made a custom intake for my Deathmobile (1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88) It cost me about $90. I got a K&N from martel Brothers performance with the shipping it came out to be ~$40 and i got a mandrel bent pipe from JC Whitney for about ~$43 after shipping the rest i spent on high heat paint and rubber pvc pipe connectors (the exact name slipped my mind) it turned out great! My Olds flies!

but thats besides the point so what i'm trying to say is maybe i can sell them but i can't have a definite answer til wednesday cus i gotta go to the auction and see if i can sell them there. there about $1700 from the dealer plus installation and if you need a module thats another 700 so get back at me if anything. Ohh and if you do buy them new install them yourself their easy and its not as critical installation as people think. people say i don't trust myself with something that important!! WTF its pluggin in a plug on each airbag and tightening 4 and 6 screws
