(short ram intake into stock air box) has any one dun this if so how does it preform? Will a cone air filter fit inside?
I am thinking of doing this so that the intake is not pulling in so much hot air

 

when I bought my car, it had an AEM short ram going into the intake... it can't be bad, all you're doing is replacing the plastic tube with a metal one... and I dont think you can stick a cone filter in there, beside why would you want to

You mean so it's like an el cheapo Icebox? Someone on here has done it but using a stock-like panel filter instead of a cone filter; it's basically the stock setup but with the OEM tubing replaced by mandrel-bent tubing. That will probably work pretty similar to what you're thinking of. Then replace the stock filter with a K&N replacement filter and remove the airbox resonator.

no reason I was just wondering because i just bought a new filter. I ll just put a lay in filter in if I have any problems

 

If you're worried about the hot air, why not just get a heat shield???

True But money is kinda tight so im lookin for in expense options. Ill look into it. You guys have any suggestions on heat sheilds

 

heat shield what on the intake? on the filter right? heat shiedls don't really do much. I got some silly ractive filter w/ a heat shield on it, I'm sure it does alot I mean that piece of metal will definatly stop the hot air from getting in. It blocks it right Hot air CANNOT go around things called heat shields.

Sorry to be a dick but they don't work.

 

if that is your problem i figure you can just rig up the intake into the air box.....injen makes a half-*** heat shield...also i have seen some home made heat shields also out of a piece of aluminum.

 

I personally really want to do this but dont have the ***** to cut up my akimoto
