Homemade CAI!

xci.ed6 · May 25, 2015

I was bored so I made a cold air itake for my car. 2.5" pvc conduit from Lowes, cost me $8, now I need a filter...probly go UNI so ~$25.

Oh, the pipe fits so tight in that OEM piece! Took me an hr, a file, a torch, and my wife to get it on! It may not even need a clamp!

Yes! Nice job xci!

What was on there before?

Stock

I ran across a bracket and a few bolts, so now it's bolted in. I'll update pics when I find a filter.

$33 homemade CAI sounds like a win

Not just the price, it was in stock!

Ok, it did take me ~1hr to make the OEM bit fit the pipe, but who doesn't want to spend some time on their own car! The OEM bit stayed because it has the wire/hose holder things and a couple hoses that connect to it. It also made it the right length.
