The definitive home depot CAI topic

[Travo]

have many people done this on an mx6? i've heard that the room between the engine/transmission and the radiator is far smaller. My car is also an automatic, so have i got any hope of running a pipe down there? Is there anything else i should know?

[MIXTA]

i have an mx6 and a hd cai and it fits just fine. but since you have an atx there will be less room. look above PPPQuick had this same question and i think it was pretty well answered.

The only way I can get a K&N around where I live is to order one so i was wondering what one everyone on here used for thier HDCAI's. (part number or dementions) I have 3" schedule 40 PVC.

[Nukem987]

Oh come on, no one has bought a K&N filter?

Well here is my Home Depot setup(if the links work)
There are three pics, but I don't know if you are allowed to see all three thru the one link, so here they are separately.

Oh, buy the way my K&N filter is KNENGRU-3130.
Thats the part no. that the place I ordered from used.

Well that didn't work, I'll have to try something else.

The link to my MSN photos is really long, and the PT message board is F'n it up.


You could normally just cut and paste the link into your browser, BUT for some reason when you update the reply it adds a space to the link and F's it up. (the space is just after the "aspx?"

And if you highlight the whole link and try to paste it into your browser, it only pastes the first line displayed in the post.

And if that wasn't enough the browser replaces the "space" that PT created with "%20" if you don't delete it.

So, after you get all three lines pasted, and delete the space, it should work.

Sorry about the long post.

I built and installed a 3" ABS HDCAI last weekend. The only problem is it doesn't have any support so it sags a little. Any suggestions on how it remedy this?

[MIXTA]

Use 1-1.5" metal about a foot long and cut it in half. Then bend them in the places they need to be bent and drill the holes. They will end up looking like a Z. Then use the holes on the VAF to bolt on and then bolt the other side to the stock airbox locations.

looks really nice! what did you use to paint the pipes with?

[fassst94pgt]

This was very helpful thanks a lot. If any atx'rs have any questions feel free to IM me.

[apinn_25]

Thanx Mixta. I used your idea yesterday. Worked great.

[beastlx]

you dont connnect the pvc to the throttle body. you connect it to the vaf.
