has anybody ever done a home made cold air intake just wondering if you have how did you do it.

 

go to www.silveradoss.com and type your title in the search, I believe there is a full write up on there.

 

can you post it here beacuse i have to log on to do what you said.

 

Several people have done this on here. Ask "oxidizr", I know he made one for his dry nitrous set up. I will be making mine out of PVC pipe from Home Depot. You need piping, clamps, rubber connectors and a filter which you can get from an auto parts store. JSmith did a write up on his I believe, do a search. He posted a website where you can buy parts for a custom set up.

 

would it be as effective as a 200 dollar one from k/n?

 

If you were going to buy one, go with the Volant.....it is a better unit IMO.

 

I have no proof but my guess would be yes. It's a plastic tube, little stuff like clamps and rubber connectors and a filter, all with the K&N logo on it. You're paying for fabrication, advertising, etc. which is why it costs that much. Just make your own. Or you can buy mine if you want

 

Is buying one of the modular tubes and just use a drop K&N worth the money?

 

You can make a "cold air" intake by utilizing your stock airbox. I used some 90 degree 4' aluminum pipe. They rotate to make a straight piece or bend around so that you can route it down to the openings in the lower airdam. Then you secure it to a 4" hole cut in the bottom of the stock airbox. I also modified one of those rectangular dryer vent openings to "scoop" in outside air. I also sealed the other openings in the airbox and used a high flow "drop in". When I was N/A I used 4' PVC from home depot then I used the intake tube from airaid.
I couldnt be happier.

 

i made my air intake and i will let it compete with the high dollar ones any one is running. It is cheap and easy to make!

all you need is 4" 90 degree rubber tube, 4" 45 degree rubber tube, a 4" metal straight tube. get the clamps and the job is done!. also i used the air box from ebay that you can grab for 40 bucks.
