You can totally tell that it's summer for me and work isn't keeping me busy enough

Anyways, I picked up some clear acrylic to mess around with in an attempt to make a lid for my K&N intake. Wasn't sure how it would turn out but after cutting a template and actually making one I really liked the look. Then I got extremely bored and had some left over so I started making a lower plate and side plate to seal everything up


^^^^Here's a look at just the lid, probably cost $5 to make and sit on the intake. Actually held in place while driving (not that there's much room for it to go anywhere) If anyone wants one for their K&N I could probably make one for ya lol

Looked around at Lowe's but couldn't find any rubber seal that I liked so I went ahead and purchased some K&N seal from Summit Racing. I'll probably be posting more pics once I get all of the connections cleaned up and the seal all around.


^^A work in progress lol

^^In the car with headlight removed

I'm assuming even with some insulation that this intake won't be any better if at all. Mostly just something to do and be unique

And I polished my t-stat housing haha! You know your bored when you start polishing random stuff! Plan on doing the alternator sometime too... Doesn't have a mirror finish but it was my first time sanding/polishing so I didn't expect it lol

Thanks for looking

 

That is so totally cool!!!!! I might be interested in getting that done to mine - beats buying a whole other CAI!

 

Thanks! And yes that was totally the intention lol! I can't afford a whole new CAI so I thought why not try and work with what I have

Hoping Summit ships my rubber seal fast so I can get it cleaned up and looking professional haha.

 

I would think If you insulated it with this.16 in. x 25 ft. Staple Tab Insulation-ST16025 at The Home Depot


Its fairly cheap and I think it would work good.

 

Hmminteresting.... Caint completely seal minr though as my hood scoop vents air in to the K&N box. Yours looks sweet!

 

Thanks for the link, may have to give it a try

Thanks!

 

Home crafted is the best! I like it! Nice work on the polishing too

Hope to see lots of cool stuff from you this summer!

 

Thanks! And yes home crafted is the best!

May have a few more polished things coming soon

 

The box looks great and I agree with Lougreen! With that stuff you can also prevent heat soak from where the tube comes into the box.

Great work!!

 

looks great!

where did you get your STB bolts? Mine rusted over already... got them 2 weeks ago, kinda pissed.
