I post theses things in hopes to benefit one person or another.
It's 2 inch, and I did not want to cut 3"'s into my frame.
I did not see one person post that could even pump my gas, much less talk smack on my fabrication.
It's more cold air then was going into my intake before
P.S the speaker wire IS for the fuel pump rewire, if you din't know that you A. drive a N/A ..
an 80MM intake canot take in as much air as that 2" forces in the intake at highway speeds...

Master fabricator eh?
Don't make me post pics of mine again!
I swear, I'll do it!
You said that it's 2" pipe - looks like 2" OD, not ID. A 2" OD pipe is the equivalent of about 1.5"ID. (I've got 3.5" ID)- Still think that you get more air than stock?

Well, I used PVC - and since I didn't see him mention that it was metal anywhere - and in the pic it looked like PVC, I assumed that's what it was. Is it not?
I'll conceed that the pipe probably isn't 1/4" thick, but I'll bet it's probably 1/8" - 3/16" thick. Double that, and the ID of the pipe is 1 5/8" to 1 3/4". That is still small. Even if the pipe is 2" ID, I still think it should be bigger.

Wow! What a pissing match! Ease up on each other a bit guys. Us old farts have blood pressure issues to contend with already
Somebody should post a pictorial of the most painless way they have found to fab an efficient coldair intake.
Keep in mind that some of the better ideas for getting the air to flow are inefficient in other ways such as driving in the rain. What works well on race day conditions can be horrible for a daily driver.
Crap traps/deflectors and drainage seem to get overlooked in some of the otherwise best designed systems.
A few small holes drill in the right places for water and a screen mesh design to deflect debris rather than "catch" it and the realization that the better flow of air usually means more filter servicing need to be noted.
Please don't jump my *** you guys know I am too old a frail for that

It's more cold air then was going into my intake before, and once you can do something besides blow hot air, please let me know.
P.S the speaker wire IS for the fuel pump rewire, if you din't know that you A. drive a N/A ..
B. drive a turbo who's next run might be it's last.

The pictures look good all. I might think about increasing the size a little bit, disreguard most of my last 2 posts please, I was so drunk i don't even recall posting that. It was pretty damn funny though
and of course I was kidding about beeing a "master fabricator" that was just a little bit of sarcasim.
I used a dye grinder to cut the hole, with a carbide bit... and no I don't ever plan to sell that car, it's paid for.

I plan to enlarge it... but I was up to some more master facrication tonight
It was not about feeling gains from that .. .it was just a step further from accidental detonation, every degree helps.

Here is tonights master fabrication. Took about 2 Hrs of grinding .. but it worked.
It is a Hooka atachment ... you can get your car to ingest Oz's of pot and blow smoked dope out the exhaust. It's a crowd favorate
