It's not complete yet.. I have to block off the stock airbox opening in the fender with some sheet metal but you get the idea.

Looks good. I didn't even know you were supposed to block off the stock airbox opening into the fender well.

By the way, you should post these types of things in the tech section. Just for searching purposes and what not. I've noticed a few other tech articles that you have posted in the talk section. CAI looks good though.

well I guess you don't have to but you should to prevent the filter from pulling heat in from the engine bay and to pull the cold air coming in instead of it going right into the engine bay.

speed density doesn't have an air meter.

that puny 2.3L looks pretty lonely in that V8 engine bay without the ungainly airbox to keep it company. j/k don't need to incite the wrath of the meek motored stangers.

i used tubing that was at my brothers house from is Grand national ok ill break it down for you
i took out the air box and all that junk took the elbow from the stock airbox turned it around and that became the fenderwell mount piece.

then i got the grand national tubing in there attached it to the elbow and clamped it down and there it is now only took me about 20mins

goodluck

Looks cool... I guess I will do mine this weekend... It doesn't matter which hole you use does it? What size filter did you get to use the round hole?

Another questoion, but what happens without the air sensor will the car run rough, or trip any sensors? And filter size would be helpful...Thanks

the car has some way of snesing air! if there is something in the air duct path with a wire conected to it., more than likely it is needed.
It will idle but after that it will not run
(I have experience here.)

Ok so I'm guessing don't do it this way? Or find a way to reattach the air sensor somewhere? I'm not sure and am not a pro so I'm just wondering...This setup seems real simple unless there is a lot that I'm not seeing any info?

he doesn't have an maf sensor. His vehicle is speed density. Mine is well and I plan on doing a CAI today.
