NIce work buddy. YOu can take the snorkel off now though. It isn't doing anything anymore since it isn't sealed to the stock box anymore. I would suggest getting a K&N filter for that since those 25 dollar filters(I have used them) arent that good. K&N is re-usable and flows more.



BTW yall I currently make Cold Air Intakes for N/a's and I am working on one for the TII there is a link in my signiature if you lick it it will take you all to our site. Check it out and shoot us an e-mail :-D

no i figure that the snorkle has a purpose as the air origonaly came from that spot so i think that i could still be feeding a little bit of air over the filter

I only have one problem with your air intakes, 1987rx7guy, the piping is aluminum. You would actually get better performance if u used hardend [;astic for piping.



When the motor heats up so will that aluminum tube, warming up the air flowing through it. If you use plastic it wont heat up the air as much and u will get a more true "cold air" intake, and thus get better performance.

Actually its aluminized steel. The webmaster might have thought aluminum instead i will check that out tho



Anyhow I would rather have the same kind of pipes(metal) that TII's use for intecooler piping. They will last longer and NOT deform. I had a Carbon fiber heat shield(you all call them cold air boxes right...) and it began to deform because of the heat. Metal will not deform nearly as much as plastic.



I am running tests with rfour intakes and I will bring the results to you all via our site or a thread but I stand by our intake 100%.
