Have you had any problems with heat on the rubber hoses....? Do we really need the silicone hoses?

I finished what I'm going to do to the bottom half and am now going to work on the top.

 

I used the rubber hoses and have not had any issues, and im sure my underhood temps are beyond rediculous with a blower + 100 degree alabama heat.

I would only spend the cash on the nice silicone if I was using it pre-intercooler on a turbo or something that sees potentially very high temps.

 

Nice!!!!

 

Thanks!!

 

This is just brilliant, nice comeout, much better than ones I've seen. Now, I shall start thinking of venting my Volant CAI, sweeeeeeeet.

 

I did something very similar but came from the pass tow hook hole, being i have the lower billet i opened up the hole and dont have tow hooks, wanted to do like u but have the billet in my bumper too, worked great!! Dont know about power increase but before the blower my iats were 2-3* above ambient....

 

I did something like that once, then we had a good downpour; sucked in water stalled the truck and fried the MAF sensor. Thank God I was still under warranty to cover my stupidity..........

 

Nice!

 

Finished the top portion..... Updated original post

 

Nice set up. I wasn't that creative I just went out and bought the Vararam and called it a day.
