Custom intakes/boxes...

[Supercop8100]

Just curious, cant be all that hard. Alot better than paying 300 bucks for one. I was thinking about modifying the factory box....but im sure I could make a whole new "performance" box and tube...what do ya'll think?

I installed a Volant system which has a flange on the bottom. Makes it easy to run a cold air hose. I also purchased a 1/2 ton scoop that I mounted to the lower valance.

Ran a piece of aircraft scat hose between the two and could not beleive the difference at speed.

When winter came (plow), I removed the lower scoop and ran the scat hose up to the bumper inlet. No noticable change in performance without the scoop!

No pics. Not much to see.

 

The hose tucks in behind the bumper and you can't see it.

I modified my stock airbox (cut the entire end off that leads into the fender and opened up a small area on the side toward the headlights), added a K&N filter for ~$50 (just because I like to be able to wash and re-use), and just put on an Airaid MIT for $95 shipped from Byunspeed.com (tube from the stock airbox to TB). I have got around $150 in the setup. I'm sure a true cold air system could flow more air but I was not willing to shell out the $$. It seems to work very well (there was a definite volume difference which hopefully means more air is getting in) and cleaned up under the hood by removing the stock tube with silencer tube on it.

 

Good luck!
