Those are all too long, I mean, they might work, but those are some huge filters, wow.

cold air intake option
well i dont know if this works well, and im prolly not the first to think of it, but when installing a CAI, why dont we keep the filter connected to the VAF and introduce a larger pipe that goes over the filter, and then down like a regular CAI and just scoops the cold are into the pipe? orjust have the filter go upper in the body and a surrounding pipe that gows down further and scoops air up, the main problem i see in the current design is that air gows thru one side and out the other side cause it is mounted vertically, if the air was scooped in, it would have to go up the pipe and through the filter, so there is no loss
how i see it...its still cold air, it just doesnt get filtered till it reaches the top? or does the heat of the filter cause it to warm up as it goes thru? but if its lower in the pipe(on the part that goes down near the rad) it wont get heated and you get amost 100% of the air that actually gows thru the pipe....
in the end, you wouldnt have to worry about your filter hitting the ground and snapping off, or getting that much water in it?
if this has already been brought up and has a specific name, please direct me to it......thanksLast edited by weedo; May 7, 2002, 09:45 PM.93 gt

It is better to have the filter lower. When I made mine it had been raining a lot, so I was worried about water. I just used a ractive heat shielded filter. Here how it came out, sorry it does not show much detail.

Or you could just use a 2.5 inch pipe on the end of stock airbox, and run that down with a scoop or whatever, which seems much easier IMO.

I did my own to after a little research and some 3.5" mandrel bend's and some pipe I now have a CAI that is exactly like the Hotshot unit, Sound's like VTEC now when the VRIS come's on just a little quieter, except for the fact that you can actually feel the VRIS, VTEC is just a bumblebee fartin in an empty pop can :grin:. I felt quite an improvement in power when I moved the K&N off teh VAF and down to ground level in front of the tranny, it pull's hard to redline and has a nice little bump at 4250rpm when VRIS #2 come's into play.

Do *NOT* turn this into a VTEC / VRIS debate please. Start a new thread if you want to get into that
