Default Homemade intake

Does anyone have the link to the website that gives step by step instructions on making your own cold air intake ? I think the one they made it for was a black del sol. THanks.

Can you use a hacksaw? how about measuring tape?? If so, then you ca make your own homemade CAI. I Made mine, and I could not be happier with it. took an afternoon (not including the painting) and it cost me 155 cdn including everything... grommets, PVC clamps, filter, pipe, etc... just follow that link's intsructions and you'll be good to go!

well, that is an issue....I wedged the battery in between the fan and the intake for awhile...then relocated it to the rear eventually...its too much cutting/connecting to go around the battery...

...they sell generic CAI's on ebay for like $65 that fit fine......it'll probably end up costing $65 for this thing...something to think about..
