HomeMade cold air intakes Questions

The Cobra has a 65mm TB and a 70mm MAF which are adequate up to the 300+hp level. A fenderwell cold air kit with 3" piping should do nicely (either buy one ready made or make your own).

I went to a place that deals with plastic materials and got a scrap piece of pvc
about 5/8" thick and around 6" square.

I just cut a hole in the center with the 4 flange holes on the corners and
glued a 6" section of 3" pipe for a home made adaptor.

Total cost ............ Zero Dollars and about 30 minutes to make it

The pics from that old thread shows my current setup. No frills, no hassle
with welding or threaded fittings, No Bends ... Pure Function

I was trying to address your concern about using the OEM meter

Two totally different setups because ... as you have pointed out ... the setup
in the pics is based upon a ProM shorty 80mm meter. Yes the red object is
the meter. ProM used to make them in different colors. Both the meter and
filter were a package deal from ProM. Really ... all I basically did was use two
Fernco couplers and short piece of pipe between them.

Sorry for the confusion

I don't have any pics from my old flange mount adaptor setup. It was just a
thick piece of pvc about the same size as the OEM meter flange with a short
piece of 3" pipe.

I can assure you the pvc will not melt I used schedule 40 3" pipe which
is quite durable.

Now ... if you used that very thin pvc I could see a prob

If you wanna do a metal cai you should be able to rig one up with big
truck exhaust sections. Just fit it together, weld it up, paint it as you
desire.

Hope I cleared things up ... If not ... Feel Free to ask more

Anybody here customed a forced induction intake through the fog light hole!?!?!??!?


it'd be funny

Once ram air has to go around one curve, its pretty useless unless you are going 90+ MPH.

Its actually pretty much useless period. lol
