Have you ever made a custom CAI?

[BlackenedSVT]

Any of you guys ever make your own CAI? post some pics or give me some details if you did. I'm debating this concept myself.

they are only like $45 on ebay. why wastw time making one? you will prob make more power with the stock one.

why does anyone continue to believe the fairytale that CAI is so awesome?! K&N and no air silencer....doesn't get much cheaper than that...and if you want some bling slap the K&N sticker on your car

I made one a long time ago. It was a fun project, but I can't say that it made more power or lost power. Just that it was a fun project.

FWIW, the oem one is back on now.

Where's the picture? And what's FWIW?

FWIW = For what its worth.

Also, I wanted to make my own CAI as a fun project as well. Furthermore, do you know what kind of CAI you'd get for $45 on ebay? I do... a metal POS taht would rob horsepower.

The JLT CAI that i wanted to buy was like $180. And all it is is 4" PCV tubing painted black. So i figured i could just make my own.

That stock intake tubing looks like crap and is restrictive

Stock intake tubing is restrictive? I don't think so... thats why aftermarket intakes don't benefit us all that much. But I do agree it would be a fun project to fab one yourself

I made mine. It's been modified a little, since this picture was taken but yeah ...

why does everyone trash them....jlt makes great cai, if you cant afford one fine, but dont trash them.

jeesh......

I love the JLT intake, and almost bought one...but i think for like $50 i'd rather have fun making the same thing myself. Thats all

Not worth the effort, been there wasted that time and money.

I will disagree with you there. It really isn't that bad unless you start getting into FI.

N/A (stock motor), it's fine and you can spend the money elsewhere.
