Well i don't really have the money to buy a CAI so i was thinking about making my own. I don't really know what materials to use, i've heard of 2 or 3 ways to make them and was wanting to know your opinions on the best way to make one. It'll be going on an 03 silvy 5.3. Any pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

maybe this will help you out.

you can get the filter and K/n looking box from ebay under silverado and ebay auto for like 40 bucks.

when you get the 90 degree from the link and the 12" pipe from the link use your flexible piece that connects to your maf to finish the job. good luck.

 

i made my own back when i was broke and couldn't afford one. even though i can afford one now, i prefer my homebrew cai over anything else on the market.

i think they perform just as good

 

I got to lookin under the hood tonight and i don't have efans so i'm thinkin clearance is gonna be a big issue so will i still be able to make one for it or will i need to pick up a set of efans first. also a guy told me tonight that a throttle body spacer would help me out alot and i called bs but am i wrong?

 

thanks for the site v8

 

no tb spacers wont get you anything but the really cool noise... (others will argue but wateva) and not sure on the efans.. but i would assume that you could still do it.. im going to be attempting it on my truck in about 1-2 weeks.. depending on how hot it is outside... ill do a full write up if i do it... p.s thanks 4 da links goshawk :thumbsup:

 

slow4.8 i'm sure you'll get to it before i will so tell me how easy or hard it was.

 

ok wat yr is your truck? mine is an 04 so no efans for me. is yours a 05 or newer?

 

I doubt it cuz on post #4 he had written that he did not have e-fans.

 

no mine is 03
