Here are the pics I said I would post the other day. They pretty much speak for themselves sorry about the last one it came out blurry. Before and after After with affixed mounting bracket. Installed yet blurry.

cant see the pics!

 

arggg! geocities suks goose nutz! denied access...

 

My friend was able to cut and paste them try that

 

ok, they work now. good work btw. is the intake note louder now? notice any gain?

 

Just slightly louder and just a slight kick in the pants, but I did lose some dead weight!

 

But still... I think the diameter of that tube is too small....

 

it works, even better with k&n cone filter inside the oem box. mucho good!

 

What's to stop water from collecting in, and filling it up? DOH. Better drill some weep holes...

 

Look's KOOL not bacd for the HOME IMPROVEMENT Type look..

 

What I mean is that it would be even better if you use a wider flexible tube and make the hole in the airbox bigger (3-4 inch). Place the opening of the tube near the radiator to create some RAM-air effect!!!

 

Agree! the only problem is if you have A/C, if you do, the a/c tubes wont let you widen the whole to put a bigger tube.

Ram air effect doesn't really work and if it does work it only works at a certain rpm where the speed of the intake air is the same as the air flowing through the car. Also I do have a k+n in the box. I went to the dyno sat and made an extra .8hp and 2 lbs of torque w/ k+n. I brought the stock filter with me so they where back to back runs.

 

Actually, ram air does work as long as you create positive pressure in the airbox. The problem is that the air filter in the airbox provides a resistance so you don't notice much. But if you remove the filter with a ram air setup..........
Once I saw a race ITR with a carbon fibre intake with an opening that was half the size of the radiator opening and a HUGE airbox.

 

It will work until the engine cant keep up with the amount of air coming in i.e. going to fast to much air to quickly. This causes a bubble of air to build up at the opening of the intake and can actually decrease air flow. F1 cars have a bypass that once the air flow is reaching the engines capacity lets the excess flow by so that it wont cause this bubble effect.
