homemade intake

by **SolaraPatrick** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 2:13 pm

I improved my stock intake by cutting out the sides of the box (beneath the filter...obviously) and replaced the filter with the K&N model. My question is... between the K&N filter and the mass flow sensor, there is another filter attached to the bottom of the upper box... is there anyway to remove this filter? I think that the K&N filter being between the sensor and the ambient air should be enough. Thank you.

is that safe or even legal, will it pass emissions

that is the acoustic dampener you are talking about on the bottom of the upper box. and no there is no safe way in removing it, you just have to break it off

why wouldn't it pass emissions? Its just a different way of taking in air.

just seems a little to weird to me, but if it is a way to go, then i might do it myself

With the acoustic dampener completely broken out, is there a chance the filter could be sucked up a little, having a gap form, or will the sides of the box hold it in place?

It's cheap. The surface area of the K&N replacement filter isn't quite as much as a SRI filter, but it's close enough for me! I'll pay money for a CAI, but not for a SRI.

THis is kinda dumb idea to the OP. why not just get a sri or cai and call it a day instead of flippin up your stock box. that if you want gains or any kinda improvment. CPe FTMW

My Old ricer under the hood days haha
Do not know if it has been proven yet but different intake size does effect hp and tq because the length the air is flowing in.

It's free to F...UP my stock box. What...Should I pay for a SRI in order to do the same thing? I'm an Aerospace Engineer, what are you? stupid

OK buddy ^ i guess i am stupid " Not ". Your gonna relize that your not going to get any more power. just noise from removing some stock parts. Thats why its stock!! we've all attempted something stupid atleast once with our cars. thats how we learn. so im just telling you its worthless. and for you Aerospace engineer comment i would think you would have more brains then to call someone stupid over the internet . Thank You
