Why? Because it didnt exist. I am interested in finding out what others are running as far as air intakes especially since we cannot run CAIs due to not cutting stuff in the fenderwell etc.

I just bought a used PRM from another member and plan on routing additional hosing to the fender wall hole. I think this will probably be one of the lightest intakes you can buy for sure.

What are others running? What are you experiences with setups? Any noticeable power increase? Lower IATs for those of you who have sensor for this?

I think it could be really interesting to see how the ap1 could benefit from exhaust/intake pulse tuning with the new header/exhaust rule. Long tube intake with long tube header could make the trip to 9000 really really fun, especially if you can get the same velocity through a 70mm exhaust as you can with the 63mm exhaust.

One of these days I will get a header. I would like to through a nicely DEI heat wrapped PLM on mine, with a HFC. One part at a time though. Have to save money for the pieces that break.

I did what your thinking about with the prm. I bought mine used and the guy before me had a flexible tube that was next to the radiator. I moved it into the fender hole and added heat tape to keep the radiator and engine heat off it.

I wonder if there is another solution other than dryer flex hose for doing it? Like something smother, yet still marginally flexible. I wonder if I can by really long 5 or 6 inch diameter rubber tubing somewhere. Hmmmmmm.

Maybe a turbo intercooler or radiator hose off a



or just some turbo/intercooler coupler hose that you can buy by the inch.. .

I went the cheap route and made my own light-weight intake using the stock elbow and drop-in K&N filter. Cost ~$40 in materials and a Saturday of fab work. I used a bucket to create the mold for the filter enclosure, formed some 30 mil thick AL for the top of the "boot" looking section and used fiberglass to form the bottom of the "boot" enclosure. Then I lined the inside with one more layer of fiberglass to create a smooth contoured flow path. It picks up air beside the radiator and from the opening in the fender.

^very nice fab work there. I wish I had more time to spend with fiberglass. I just never think about it when I have some project, but truth be told you can make a block of fiberglass into anything.

Do I spy material from a sunscreen visor?
I'm not sure I like the size of the enclosure around the filter itself. It looks nice though.

There is ~1.25" of radial clearance at the tightest point and 2.5" of radial clearance at the small end of the filter. The stock filter (& K&N drop in filter) is fairly large. Like I said, it was a cheap option and decreased weight compared to the stock setup. I don't have before and after comparisons, but it's something like 4 pounds lighter after wrapping with the aluminum insulation.
