Looking For A Cold Air Intake Post

I can't remember who did it, but it was in the fender well. Removed the Airbox, and cut thru the metal underneath. The guy who did it used a cutting torch, and messed up the wheel well cover. Then he routed pre-bend pipe thru the hole, and painted it blue....

I want to get the post so I can see how it lookeds again, and where he put the MAS etc.

Looks like you kept the litte stock elbow, put the 3'-3' and drilled into that for the 2 hoses... then AFM? Am I right in assuming this? Also did you just get a small filter for the Airpump?

Ya that crappy washer bottle I threw away since I never ecen used it
I say if you dont use it more than once a week get rid of it.
Liquid Anarchy you are right about the connector thing where I drilled, I would have drilled the holes in the stock elbow but didnt want to mess it up or anything, so I just drilled in the plastice connector.
Now I would show you more pics put I dont have any and have gone turbo since then.
Not that hard to do at all, just use 3" hole saw for the hole

Did you have any problem with **** getting into/onto the air filter? also, wouldn't the filter need a 3 inch inner diameter hole? not a 2.5

AFM = Air Fuel Meter. Sometimes called the MAF or MAS ( Mass Air-Flow Sensor )

Well actually its an Air Flow Meter since it only measures air not fuel
I know what you meant though
Oh I drove with that intake for about 6 months down here in Florida in the
rainy season and no problems for me.
Oh and the filter can go onto a 3" or 2.5" pipe
And as for those hoses I'm not sure if you can just plug them up but you probably can.

well I plugged mine and worked. When left unpluged but off the intake tube the cars idle bounces... My ACV is off so I think that has something to do with it. Is your ACV still on. I think thats why it dies when U plug it...????????????

I was actually looking for THAT EXACT page. Seems I found it this way huh? It's damned near impossible to find a spacific thread with search if you can't hardly remember any of the content.

I think its perfectly coo to post threadz asking to a popular thread.. Someone can just post a link instead of having to explain the whole thing again. I once saw this guys custom intake from a thread way back that I probly never find by using search...That would take forever. So Its cool just to make a thread asking for people who might have saved the adress or something.. Right? Cool.
