Anyone have one, and want to share some ideas? I want to maybe use a RACtive filter, and an AEM bypass in there. Not sure exactly where to go from there? Anyone know the specs?


Thanks.

bypass valve isn't going to do anything on a 5 inch pipe design.

why? u need enough room for the "water" to travel up enough to create the vaccum needed to open then bypass valve.
phyics just doesn't play that great of a role with a 5 inch pipe, water will suck into it if you that valve .. cuz the blower will be sucking very fast at that close of a range...

imho. forget the bypass. and the reactive.

just get a nice k&n filter and maybe a velocity stack. but the VS really won't do much cuz the air will just be spinning anyway once it gets into the blower.

The reason I want to go with a CAI now, is because I think the people who installed this S/C on the last car, ****ed it up. The filter has 3 holes. One to attatch to the blower. One that looks like its formed in it, and one that looks like it was cut into it. So I dunno what to do.

So those Ractive filters are garbage? You recommend anything besides a K&N? HKS? Greddy? etc?

Maybe, I'll get just a nice filter that drops into the fender, or lower...

Thanks.

Just got some PVC pipe from Home Depot and a K&N conical airfilter. Cut up the PVC to make it fit the where you want it to fit in the passanger side fenderwell. Lots of custom work but I don't have better instructions than that to tell you how to do it.

I dont want it to be mad ghetto. I want it to look like a professional CAI. I wonder how much it would be to have something done.

I posted pics of my Custom CAI cuz some members were requesting it.. this was about a week ago. Do a search? Its like 7:30am here and im tired/lazy..

The search function completely sucks. I searched for everything possible. It said no results. Maybe you can find it. Dont waste your time though, just let me know when you get a chance. Thanks.

Dallas @ WSP said he would be willing to produce the CAI for the SC'd Max but he would need someone to step up with there car so he can use it.

PVC will melt, won't it?

i'm trying to get some ABS plastic
or do what skimax did.
aluminum.

I think he is using ABS because his pipeing is black and the ABS at Home Depot is Black and the PVC is white. But I dont think PVW will melt, but pehaps it is more likely to become brittle due to the heat cycles it will indure.

Im not sure what kinda plastic was, that was a guess. Its sorta like tissue & kleenex to me, sorry if i mixed you guys up.

But whatever that plastic is under my hood.. no problems at all.

How did you get access to the inner fender there? You probably ran the pipe, then put the filter on underneath? If thats true, I'm guessing that it is a hard thing to remove and put back on...heh

Mechanic did it, but yah, i believe front fender has to come off.. so if you got big tires.. that tires gotta come off too. Thats the price of CAI tho..
