Also, speaking of intake... I was thinking of getting rid of my hot air intake and buying a castro intake, but can't bring myself to pull the trigger. I do have the highbeam delete tube still... so i could just go back to that. But i kinda like having both head lights, as I want to get back to dallying this thing soon.

Maybe I'll have ask the wife to get me the castro air box it for Christmas

Put the order in ASAP. Hate saying anything bad, as I love the builds they do and it's a small company, but it took a long time to get mine (I think 2 months with no follow-up?). Also been having fitment issues and haven't received much help to figure out the problem. They look so clean though, so hoping to figure it out soon.

Finally tried this out... I dont love vinyl, but I am getting slightly better at it. Was already moving along when I realized I should probably take a progress pic.

Figured I should take it out of the bathroom before wifey walked in on me asking what Im doing with her hair dryer


Had to make some slits to get it into the 'scoop' area... maybe should've left it alone but added an additional piece on the inner circle to make it more complete but also added some wrinkles


Great from 10ft, ok from 5.... dont get up close LOL


It came out OK, I give myself a 6/10 on the execution. Luckily I have more so when this falls apart I can try again and learn from my mistakes... on to the next thing.

Neat!
IMO looks much better then the black, which always just looks like a missing headlight!

The joy of making a "custom" intake with eBay parts and zero fabrication... The aluminum intake pipe arrived with no issues, but the K&N was a different story.


It took 3 orders and a delivery through AZ for me to get the K&N. I wanted the K&N that resembled mine with the correct ID for the pipe (2.75") and angled to fit in the headlight pocket but sadly it doesnt quite fit in there...


Ended up reusing the old filter for now, its a temp solution because the ID of the dirty filter is 3", luckily I had a silicone hose to 'bridge' for now...

So here are the two replacement filters I’m considering. Actually leaving it towards the RamAir unit as I think those filters are better than K&N…. Thoughts?

[varg]

Good question. K&N is known for flow not filtration effectiveness, I miss the old Amsoil filter line because that's what I used, they were good at cleaning air not just flowing. None of the reputable OE filter makers currently offer a cone to my knowledge so my instinct would be AFE. Foam filters are really not very good for removing dust unless they're saturated in sticky oil.

I ended up with getting a RamAir dry filter... hopefully it fits and flows well...

Anything is better than what's on there rn
