Got my CAI put on last weekend. I bought the parts from SFXPerformance.com. The parts are Spectre Performance. I bought one 4" diameter 22 degree angle 6" lengthpipe, a 3.5" to 4" coupler adaptor, and a universal 6" cone filter. Here are the pics.





the purple foam in the pics is my makeshift mount for now. haha. im gonna fix that when i get a better idea.

tell me what you think.

 

looks good

how's the performance??

 

performance wise......i cant really tell yet b/c that hesitation is still there. i just got back from school so im just now doing something about it. a new shop opened up here and the guy that works there used to be a GM technician so im gonna take it to him this friday.

it sure is louder though.

 

looks good, As far as a mount those are not to tuff to make.

Just take a flat peice of Aluminum and bend it so it will attach the a bolt in the car already there.
Then take the filter side and mount it on to it there.

What a buddy in Ge. did is he took a peice of Aluminum and took it in had them cut a hole trew it big enough to fit the tun and filter threw there. this is where the support for the filter is and also it holds the hoses togeather and out of harms way of things.

Worked pretty good and think he only paid like 15.00 Euro for it

 

 

thanx for the tip mickey.

the whole thing only cost me about 70 bucks. pretty good compared to the factory CAIs if you ask me.

 

I'm stupid on this subject, but where is the cold air generated?

 

'Slayer,
Don't feel too stupid. I wouldvery much like to knowthe same. CAIs are a huge topic with vette guys, second only to headers/cat-backs. I got very familiar with my old C6's breathing, from air intake to intake manifold to headers to cats to cans. I have to admit looking at the sideways mounted engine in my SS& how it gets its air to how it deals withthe exhaustis like comparing college algebra to 3rd grade math when you compare it to the vette's traditional V8/RWDsetup.

Cheers,

if you've significantly increased the amount of air getting to your engine a tune could be in order.
btw,NICE JOBon the homemade kit[sm=smiley20.gif]

Slayer, to answer your question.....I have no clue. I just call it that because it seems to be the popular thing to do haha. I guess it really doesnt bring in cooler air, but it does bring in a heck of a lot more air.
