Last weekend while I was running around Home Depot, I happened to spot these flexiable ventilation hoses that are about 4 inches in diameter. I was thinking that maybe I can run that and make a tube running from the grill to the intake box (I had a cone, but now i went back to the factory box with the top cut). At first I didnt think there would be enough space, but then I decided i should take out those black pieces. And foruntely I did find some spot to get the hose up. But here is the problem, once I get the air up there, how would I route it to the airbox area itself. I dont think I have enough clearance from the hood to run the hose to the stock box area, what can I do to get it there without cutting my inner body work. If nothing works, you guys think it would help if I just route the air to the stock intake inlet (the one that is near the front) or take out that piece and replace it with the hose entirely?

Also does the A/C line (near the front, the dryer I think) get hot during operation? The hose might rub against that, I just wnat to make sure it wont burn or anything

 

I used a flexible aluminum clothes dryer vent hose to get cool air into my custom cold air box. The aluminum vent hose allowed me to bend it into a narrow oval shape so it fit in under the hood.

 

Why did you get rid of your cone filter?

 

I bought the wrong size one, it was too small, plus that thing was sucking in hot air. I think i am making the same hp with the cut airbox than the cone. My engine makes more noise with the airbox cut than teh cone itself, so figure which is making the power
