if im not mistaken 3".............just pop open your hood, sounds like you building a WAI. You'll have to extend the pipe all the way down that hole

LOL! No im actually building a CAI with heat shield, i understand that the engine bay will still probably casue the car to suck up up hot air anyway but i think i'll be alright if i positin the shield well enough...Originally posted by Cru328prod

your building a heat shield for the filter? if so that means your putting your filter in the engine bay?...well since i did a lot of research on these i find it better to run it into the bumper because putting the filter in the engine where its hot can do more harm then good ...if you do a search on CAI you'll find a lot of ideas and ways we did our intakes....anytime you put it in the bumper take necessary pre cautions like use a AEM by pass etc to avoid any time of watering entering the system....

The thisng is i don't like the idea of running a pipe that long down to the bottom of the engine bay i dont like how it looks asthetically. Is there any other box-type intake that will fit our cars like a carbon dynamic airbox or something?Originally posted by Logic

PS - How effective would a Green Drop-In Filter be?

Like the stock air box is pretty good, it just needs improvement, i think you really don't need to do any of that, if you can make a air duct from the bottom up to the airbox it'll do the same purpose. It truely all depends if your doing it for looks and sounds. CAI always give out a cool sound, and the 23k it sounds like a turbo blow of vavle everytime you let off the pedel quick. Drop in filters only kick in at high rpms, and i don't think they make that much of a difference at low rpms
