Default My new free mod

I pulled out my CAI and the original airbox tray. Cut off everything off the tray except 2" where i could still bolt down my CAI. I also pulled out the plastic piece that connects the fenderwell and front bumper and cut out the whole center and left enough to where the fender well will still securely mount with out flapping around! can really feel the fresh air while cruising down the road.

1st picture is looking down past the filter.
2nd is looking up from the ground.

I like it ... what kind of filter is that? Unless the pic color is off it doesn't look like a K&N?

It is a K&N. Part of my CAI, it's a picture taken with my Iphone and it was funny lighting. I should have taken pictures for a walk through, but i'd very simple anyone can do it. I just used a 8mm, flat head, sawzall. it was highly recommended when i got my dyno tune. Just taking the top lid off my CAI netted 5-7hp across almost the whole rpm range!

No, it's the full K&N CAI.

Next I'm going to run a fuel line so I can connect my Stihl yard blower for forced induction being it blows air up to 260 mph!

Hahaha lol JK

Hmmmmmm.....
I wonder how much that could affect hp on a dyno just holding it pushing cold air right on the filter simulating driving down freeway

Hot Rod Magazine, May 2011, page 78. No kidding, they did exactly that but with two leaf blowers for an increase of 24 hp and 28.7 lb-ft. Here's the LINK.
