That's a pretty clean setup. I was thinking about putting a TII hood on an NA, then devise some clever method of using it as an intake I don't think there's enough clearance though.

Here's what you do for the CAI...

Make it yourself, it's really not hard. Go to www.teamfc3s.org there was a good right up on how to easily make one (as long as you dont care about losing your windshield washer fluid). It goes in the same location as cwsttu, it just tells you what piping to buy and all.

well first of all it would be to hard for me to make you one because you have to do some minor cutting for the piping to work.... so all i can really do is just get the piping for you and cut it.... but thats really easy to do, you just have to hold it up and draw a line... then cut it and bolt it in... its not hard i guess ill do a write up this week for those that are weary about it....

the hood scoop is actually located in a low pressure area... meaning that not very much air passes through it. its better to do what cwsttu did.

I couldn't find anything on www.teamfc3s.org about a cold air intake, but on www.fc3s.org there is a writeup on how to make a cold air BOX, but not the kind of setup discussed here.

Oh man, not again...

There are several reasons why the hood scoop won't work as an intake (not nearly enough room, same heatsoak problem as the TMIC...), but this BS is certainly not one of them.
