    Cold Air Intake @ A/C condensor spot

    Hey guys,

    A while ago I removed whole A/C system, including condensor, that free a whole lot of room in front of radiator.

    Today installed a KMotors Cold Air Intake kit, pretty darn happy with it.
    Kit includes a very nice carbon enclosure with removable/washable filter, flex hose and mounting hardware, clamps were not included.

    - Filter enclosure fit's perfectly between valence and bumper, bumper itself shelters intake port from rain.

    - Flex hose does not interfere with head lights and it's long enough to reach Miller AFM unit.

    I placed OBC's Ambient Temp Sensor near canister, exposed air-cone filter used to suck 114f air from engine bay.

      Looks nice. Only thing I would worry about is the raditor can get kinda hot when your driving around. Also if its starts dumping rain it looks possible to suck some in, it would have to be hard tho. How much did it run you?
