dont remove your headlight

I went on a drive and just touching the filter and it feels cooler, I'll get real temperature reading eventually. plenty of air comes out of that tube,if nothing else its a cooling duct.
and I repainted lip.

I'm impressed with your sketchup drawing. I used it for 9 months to do interior design and arch design work. I made some really cool stuff, and blew away a few clients with a real nice walkthough of a commercial building.

However, I would never be able to do something like that. I didn't venture very far into add-ons, which is prolly my problem. Have any good ones you can suggest?

just a small update, it kept my filter at almost the EXACT same temp as outside. which is great, it was 68* and my IAT was 68*. with out shield or hose the filter went upto 98* while driving.

I'm sure 25 degrees counts for something, and I'm sure if it was cooler outside the difference would be even greater.

not worth the effort.

you know,i recall someone waaaay back when testing the STOCK airbox on a 325is with and without the 'horn' [velocity stack, if you will] that is inside the STOCK airbox. And what did they find? The airbox without the horn made LESS power than with. Something to the order of 5ftlbs at the rear wheels. okay, maybe not that much, but less no matter the case.

The designers at BMW back in the 80's made a far better product than the shade tree mechanic visiting Home Depot. A+ for effort!

I understand, but nothing was purchased at home depot, it's a K&N ram air hose not dryer hose.:D People like the Idea of a CAI so I made one.

It was a spec e30 car if i remember correctly. But it was substantial, like 2-3 rwhp. ead

Please now do the same test with a stock airbox.
