I know i might get in trouble for this but I have my old 3" Intake if anyone wants it. No cone or hoses or anything, you need a rubber grommet for the Air intake temp sensor too.

The intake is free BTW Trying to get it out of my trunk.

Giving away a item isn't selling..... so your good :mwink: I wont ban you for that.....

But if I was you, I wouldn't pay for shipping. Make the lucky person who wants a free intake.:mbiggrin:

looks proffesional to me.
i was just wondering, does it matter where on the tube the hoses are connected?
i think i might have tried to put them both closer to the engine so they dont run straight across the big open space...

On which intake the first or second? On both the little black hose is only about 4" Long, on the CA or fender intake the ahh w/e ill remake it later. I have the number for the Bender to spit another one out.

Now that I look at the picture the blue hose on the second intake should only be about 8" long but I cut it at 13 just to have some slack. I can cut it shorter and make it look better.

It should run about like this.

those are both homemade? nice work man! you must have some serious garage-skill. how is the "after" intake working for you? what is the diameter of the intake?

the before intake was 3" and had a cool gurgle sound and was sitting n the coolant line. The after intake is quieter but is soo much better. More mid ranger than the 3" before. The after is 2.5" btw. the car feels much more responsive on the low to mid range and if you look closely I made a bracket and welded it to the front side of the after and its holding the coolant hose down. its at the left corner on the battery near the pos terminal. Little piece of metal sticking up and I took a 2.25" muffler clamp u-bolt and welded it to that and welded it to the intake.

(just hope it doesnt rub through the coolant hose)

EDIT: If you look in the garage thread I think my shop is on the 2nd page with some pics of the work Ive done in the past 2 yrs. Thats only about 5% of what Ive done though.
