best way to get cold air intake without headlight scoop
im going to be purchasing a k&N filter kit soon, and i would like to shield it from the hot engine air (obviously)
if i do this using the vinspeed box , whats the best way to get cold air into that box without using the headlight scoop. ?? thanks alot! cam |
You could always throw in some piping that goes down to the front air dam...
|
check the archive and search the forum, theres been several good writeups on this
EDIT: And the stock air piping would work great btw |
^Easier said than done. The most effective way is to remove the winsheild sprayer bottle, make the hole about 3" in diameter, and use air from under the front of the car. I would, however, advise the vented headlight cover.

a headlight cover doesn't give you cold air unless you have cut a lot of metal and made some ducts.

Step 1: Remove passenger side FTP lenses, then the driver side so you don't look dumb.
Step 2: Start cutting.;) I also got some honeycomb grille off of a Grand Prix and cut it to fit on both sides. Looked really trick, very OEMesk. This was on my last car mind you. |

Better than 2 obvious holes in your front bumper.

No it looks fine w/o the ftp's.

I saw a car on the KC run last summer that had the eggcrate mod for the ftps, don't remember if it was the AE or not. I was suprised how clean it does look. Much better than having gaping holes in the front.

i uploaded pics of my cai setup at my vb garage. pm me if you have questions.
it works great. much more pull throughout the powerband. |
