NEW Cold Air Intake Design!, currently ST... but possible GT Options

[Kwanza26]

So I had to smog my car, and took everything off a while ago... and just recently, I reinstalled my CAI.



As you can see, it's different than typical custom CAI which follow Spedtoe's version, but this works also. There's a little bit of rattle underload, which almost sounds like a stock BOV (unintentional) but overall... neat. It goes into the hole under the fusebox and sits in the same place as the DR CAI design, but it doesn't travel down by the tranny, which IMO, keeps the piping a lot cooler. Overall... it works all the same... but it's something different and something possible for a GT.



If there is a local member around here with a GT that would like to test-fit and possibly have built for them, a custom GT CAI... contact me and we shall see. ;]

is that intake actually getting fresh air though or just circulating? It looks like a short ram just...longer. What's it sound like?

was that a question for me?

If so yes it is getting fresh air. There is actually a scoop where the fog light would be on my 95 that feeds fresh air right into where the filter element is. In fact the filter can actually be seen at the right angle.

(keep in mind i have a 95. i dont know if the bumpers on the 96+ had this set up however if it didnt then a scoop from the bottom can be made althought its not really nessasary)

As for it being a longer short ram yes its basically that just like most of the cai systems from larger companies they are all short rams with a cai set of pipes on it. The design i used has the pipe coming off the throtle body at an angle and then a longer peice that reaches to the hole the stock airbox resignator is routed. That same peice has an angle in it that makes its way down that hole this is where the filter elment sits.

Ive sent a pm to Coomer asking if i could get together a how to. However there is a thread posted when i first did the cai on my gt. BTW the project only costed me about 30 bucks or so.

opps forgot that last question.

It sounds awesome. CAI is the next best thing to a BOV sound IMHO. Im not even running exahust and my car sounds fairly loud and deep.

Just as a note the one pictured in my profile is the first one i put in the new one has better cuts done on it, powder coated, and has a bypass valve on it. Again the second time i did it i spent jsut a little under 40 for everthing.
