With the right mind and common sense, a lot of things are possible from Home Depot. You might be hearing the phrase HDM for often. What does HDM stands for you ask. Home Depot Mod, kinda got a nice backyard ring to it.

I have my very own HDM. It's a custom Ram Air/Cold Air Intake. It's more than ram air.. it's almost forced into the TB... muwahaha!!

BTW, how did you rig up your CAI? What kind of tubing did you use? I just used the cheap 3" aluminum dryer duct and a 3" plumbers rubber coupling.

I am seriously thinking about buying a 3" mandrel bent pipe and build my own CAI. I just don't know if you can get it from HD.

I had to remove the headlight and i bought 3 pieces of that tubing that you can twist so that it bends..then i used the black plastic vent hose to attach it right behinds the headlight so that the tubing doest get in the way..so when i put back the headlight..it fits snug..hard to explain..Sorry..i tried my best..

But, it's only for track use.
