Sweet, I went back to my oem awhile ago. Gonna have to dig through the garage for the other piece.

aite maybe I jumped the gun when I said top end pulled like my v2. I still fell a little restriction. Either its because of the paper filter or the small *** hole that the airbox has.

I think if you guys wanna make it even better, instead of cutting the snorkel to fit, dremel a whole in the airbox to make it fit. Also find a high flow drop in filter. Imma try these an see if I get any gains.

heres a pic after I hacked off the tube coming out of the snorkel:

these are probably the two main bottlenecks thatll not let it flow like an aftermarket cai:

1. The inlet for the airbox is tiny.

But you can probably dremel the inlet to a CAI pipe size.

2. The stock filter is restrictive as hell. Buy a K&N drop in filter.

3. Also try to turn the snorkel in a a position so it makes ram air, which means facing the bumper. I positioned it wrong:

what are you going to do w/ the V2?

 

[theaccordian]

I'm gonna do back to back runs and see for sure which is better

Ever thought about wrapping the AEm intake with the heat shield wrap stuff? Still doesn't solve the carb sticker problem, but it might help the header heatsoak problem.
