Gene's DIY CAI thread
Hey guys, while Gene aka 92 SVX was over working on his interior wrap project I spotted a very nice and cost effective mod he had made to his car. A low cost cold air intake (CAI) made from off the shelf parts found at your local parts store. I believe the total cost is around $75??
I have now dubbed his intake the "GDIY" (pronounced Gee-dee) mod I am hoping I can encourage him to do up a "how too" with at least the part numbers needed to copy his work.... Here ya go Gene.. your very own mod. You deserve it because its simple, cost effective and a classic case of hot rodder ingenuity. C'mon Gene!

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 Last edited by 92 SVX; 02-03-2011 at 10:38 AM. |

Re: Gene's DIY CAI thread
I wonder if this is a direct fit to our stock MAF?

Re: Gene's DIY CAI thread
Just a little searchy with the part numbers gives these goods:
