Just remove your complete OEM intake and wrap chicken wire around your throttle body so little birds cant fly in.

You can basically just go Home Depot or hardware store, get hollow pipes then bend it to your needs. Drill a hole for your sensor then boom, you have your intake. Oh and you need a filter of course.

Yes your car will sound louder.


It will also look stupid and so will you. I hate how kids want to mickey mouse everything on their car and **** **** up. Just buy an eBay $30 intake and rock it proud. Seriously, $30 isnt that much, im sure your dad will give it to you if you promise to mow the lawn for the new few weeks.

And no you will not get props by other 16 year old school girls by making your own shitty intake.

Just say this, you take out the resonator box, your car will sound like it has a SRI. If you don't want it loud then just get a K&N filter for the stock box.

This must be serious. For a person to quote their own quote twice in order for the OP to get it.. lol Arthas

I agree with 89 red crx, get some piping off an eclipse, pvc is a good route also, and experiment. Have fun with it.
