Re: Gene's DIY CAI thread

Ok Here it goes.

First I started by cutting out the Accordion section of the stock tube, for 2 reasons first it allows lots of movement, and second using smooth walled tubing should help air flow.

I cut it as close to the idle control nipple as I could and still put a silicon coupler on you can cut it with a hacksaw. I think I used tin snips. I used a 3" silicon coupler from oreilly's. Part # 8771
$7.99 needs 3 for my setup. I also needed to heat it up just a little to open enough to go on.
Then into that goes a 22 degree bend part #8728

at $11.99. This will connect to a 4" straight piece part #8708 using the clamps that come with all these pieces $8.99

Which then connects to a 45 degree bend


Part #8738 $11.99. Using the second of the silicon couplers this attaches to the stock MAF again needing some heat to fit. Then maf adapter part number #81413 $13.99

Discarding the plastic piece as it is for a smaller diameter piping. You will need to line up the inside and drill new holes to fit your maf.
Then the maf adapter couples to the 90 degree bend part #8698 $10.99

Then that attaches to a 6" straight part #8718 $9.99

Then put your filter on the end. I had a filter so that was not included in the price but if you need one part #8136

cost $24.99
With out the filter it was $91.99 A little higher then my initial estimate.
That is what I did as I pieced them one at a time if you want you can get the short ram part # 8208 for $39.99

comes with one coupler and 2 4" and the 45 bend which means you would only need the 22 bend the 90 and 2 couplers. You do need a straight piece inside the fender but the 4" may be enough I had the 6" so that is what I used.
Using the Short Ram without filter its $78.95
