Long tube intake?

Taskmaster · 11-19-2013, 05:03 PM

I haven't seen any available, or am I not looking hard enough?

you mean like a traditional CAI that snakes under the car to get cool air? They are not available because the factory intake system has a snorkel that goes right to the front of the car and gets air from behind the kidney grills.

also, our cars have a plastic belly pan that pretty much seals up the bottom and keeps fresh air from coming in from under the car, so those types of CAI's won't really work.

Dinan has the closest thing to what you are looking for.. can be made yourself for cheaper though

The closest i've seen is the euro style mod with long tube into fog light areas.

The alternative is to cut up a euro box and do the same
