Upgrade ebay air intake

edboc · 06-30-2012, 09:44 PM

I want to replace my current ebay intake (picture below) with something with a heat shield, since it's probably sucking hot air. I don't want to cut into the firewall for the randall cowl intake. Will any of the following make a difference?

No, spend your money on something worthwhile.

All of those are stupidly overpriced for what they are. You could easily make one yourself using a cardboard template and some sheet aluminum with some edge guard to make it look nice.

Moar pics of the 10AE?

Why would this fit a '00, but not a '99?

If it fits a 2000, it'll fit a 1999. The eBay seller doesn't know what they're talking about.

edboc · 07-04-2012, 10:45 PM

Same with this on Amazon. It says it fits 2000, but not '99

Do this.

spitefulcheerio · 07-05-2012, 07:59 AM

No, dont fucking do that

That amount of time you spent writing your post wasn't worth the time/money invested in changing your intake.

Why replace that whole intake? Get a good k&n and throw it on ur intake. Make a heat shield.

Done.

You're not going to gain any power by wasting hundreds

then why waste the money even going that far?

1vicissitude · 07-05-2012, 10:23 AM

True, but I have my doubts about the quality of no name filters.

Then why not just take the bottom of the air box off and build a heat shield. Problem solved and you don't need to overpay for K&N. You get the noise and zero power, same result.

1vicissitude · 07-05-2012, 10:29 AM

Yes, but your assuming he has the stock pieces. I don't see them in the picture, so why bring them up?

edboc · 07-05-2012, 06:49 PM

What do you do with the air hose for these custom intakes that don't have a hose on the intake?

1vicissitude · 07-05-2012, 06:52 PM

Add a nipple fitting? They sell them at any parts place like pepboys for a few bucks.
