NEW cold air intake kit ideas

[kamotors]

But this one doesn't look retarded and diminish the ability to see the road and other obstacles at night. And I didn't say it's what I wanted to do either, read up a few posts and buy a clue. ;)

If it's a track car, fine, you're never going to be racing in the dark anyway.

exactly.

this is a rough sketch of what i want to do, the pipe needs more bends than that but this is just to give the idea of what im going after

for personal use thats fine but I can tell you that not many people are going to buy it if they have to cut a hole in their car.

i know and getting the pipe bent is going to be a pain in the ass , i have no interest of selling

gotta love the splitter:)

[der affe]

is there a cone filter inside of that thing somewhere?
any pics of it w/o the heat shield cyl thinggy?

They're both low pressure areas. But this one doesn't look retarded and diminish the ability to see the road and other obstacles at night. And I didn't say it's what I wanted to do either, read up a few posts and buy a clue. ;)

I'm not sure why you are saying this is a low pressure area there isn't any reason that i can see for it to be

to defend my claim, I bought the gauge that they used its on the way to my house so i can get some hard numbers

even if it's not a low pressure area, it still looks stupid on a street car.

just came back from shipping and this new routing is just as efficient and cleans up the area becasue its only using half the hose and only 1 coupler, so now the kit installs in about 15-20minutes (10 min if you have an m30 AFM).

It is being said because that is what wind the tunnel tests results showed.

+1. Simple physics will tell you that the area above the bumper, on the leading edge of the car, should be a high(er) pressure area. It's the same concept as a splitter for your iS lip. Air hits the iS spoiler (or grills), tries to escape but runs in to the splitter (or bumper) and builds an area of pressure because of it. I'm too lazy to draw a picture, but Nando's posted link explains it well.

Is it wrong that I assumed most people who are purchasing this knew that the m20 AFM was square? just today 2 people have emailed me asking how to attach the cone filter to the AFM, today I added to the description that an AFM adapter is needed.on all the descriptions I have a list of parts that are included but I guess I will start including the AFM adapter even though I cant find a source for an affordable adapter.

that's ridiculous, those people should know better. They can buy a cheap adapter off ebay for like $5 bux. I've had mine for over 4 years without a single issue, no rust, nothing. perfect fit. Don't waste your time and effort, unless of course you find a way to purchase them in bulk from a supplier on ebay...just a thought.

I tried purchasing them in bulk but shipping was like $30, which is ridiculous.

they cost $4.50 on ebay

almost any body who has hanged their own air filter should of known it was square in my opinion.
