Build Your own FWI CAI Thread... Essentially I started this for the people who want a fwi cold air intake but have found that making your own is the way to go.
We can use this thread to discuss ideas, what works and what doesn't...
I was thinking about using dryer ducting as a template to measure angles, then ordering the parts through jegs or wherever...
For size I was thinking 4 inch like the JMB but not sure until I take some good measurements.
Anyone already have one they would like to share?
I guess one of the fun things about these cars is that some things you have to do yourself.

www.siliconeintakes.com will be your friend...should cost between 100-140 if you use parts from their site and a good cone filter 7-9inches.

it is a 45 degree off the throttle body into maf then a 3'' striaght piece to a 6'' striaght piece to another 3'' striaght piece (had to be that way cause of the coolant bottle) to a 60 degree then right into the k&n filter. the filter is getting the air that goes through the hole right under the turn signal so it gets clean/ cold air
as for my ecm/tcm nothing is holding it down right now but it does not move really at all
if anyone needs more help or more pics let me know i can take the wheel well out so you can see the filter placement and things

I used this stuff to make an intake for my cousin and my buddy. I also used an open cone S&B filter. Under a hundred bucks and looks clean.

Check out intense racing. I think they have one made of this that works great.
I'm just not a fan of the looks.
