I believe this is the greatest mod for the stock intake that anyone has come up with. It may far exceed the abilities of the "snorkel". The stock intake is already basically a "short ram" intake. The only problem with it is it draws in HOT air. With this mod and a high flow filter like the K&N or JR or Comptech inside the airbox, this may be the ultimate CAI. All that's left is to get rid of that accordian style intake tube and we've got the perfect intake.
This is pure beauty and absolute genius.


It's important enough that I've taken the liberty of posting this up for you.



Please, do tell us all about this.

I am extremely interested in this invention. I am curious not only how you constructed the item, but how you hooked it up to the wheel well. Please teach us!

I do this for a living, only difference is I do it for aircraft R&D. I still have a few minor adjustments to make but I will have it ironed out by next week at the latest. How it is made: It is molded plastic and it is not even fastened to the fender, it fits snugly into the airbox and that is all. The only thing I had to do to "make it fit persay" is the thin aluminum tubing below it has to be pushed down a bit for clearance. I will have few for sale if anyone is interested.

You never saw your own car with the stock box?
