It's done! It's done!
So I spent all day yesterday and I fabricated a new intake out of 3" aluminum. I also welded a new bung so the blow off valve connects in about the same distance as the intake supplied by AA. I routed the new intake pipe over the existing ABS, down behind the headlight, connecting to the MAF and the air filter is down below and behind the front bumper, next to the fog lights. I closed the bottom of the skirt with ABS plastic, (from the car audio days) molded to fit using a heat gun and some gloves, that way no water will splash up onto the filter. Putting it all together was no problem at all! The intake route was pretty simple and it works great!
After all the piping, I was nervous about starting the engine, but when I turned the key, it started right up. Idled rough at the start but settled down in a few minutes. The performance is incredible! I can't wait to get the car into a dyno so I can see the overall performance.
Enjoy the pics!
