90bucks this thing works

 

It's a tube and some couplers. I'm sure it's ok but I wouldn't use the filter that comes with it or any open element type system. The goal is cold air (which the stock box does fairly well) not hot engine bay air that the open element type systems will get. I prefer the closed filter boxes. You could probably connect it to your stock air box.

 

my cousin seems to think it works better than the stock box.... cause once u remove the stock box there is a big hole down their that this open element sucks air from.

 

The open elements also get a lot of heat soak from the engine bay which increases IAT's. Increased IAT= decreased timing. You're better off either modifying your stock box to let more are in from underneath and in the front or spending a small fortune on a quality setup with a closed element. I'm also not a fan of the metal tubing since it also retains heat and increases IAT's.

 

I kept the stock box and tubing, cut a hole in the bottom of the box and ran dryer vent tubing down to the useless brake duct on the bumper cover. It doesn't change temps at idle because nothing is sealed, but when driving it keeps IATs at about 5* over outside temp. Works for me and it was free.

 

for those of you that have electric fans. have ya'll thought about using one of these or something of this nature. length alil smaller.

me n a buddy were thnkin bout using one of these. im suure there is someone out there with one but have yet to see it. maybe face filter 90degrees down to pick up air

 

If i dont do that idea then i guess im just ordering an airraid intake tube, using stock air box. opening it up alittle on bottom to increase air

 

That setup's pretty cool IMO...although as I've mentioned before, I'd probably go for a dry replacement drop in filter as opposed to the oiled one. I'm sure that Amsoil makes a dry, re-usable factory replacement.

 

I have the amsoil dry filter, airaid tube and stock box...

Only bad thing about the filter is it isn't as "washable" as I was expecting. It is just meant to be vacuumed out.
