Hey i was tryin to use the search function to find this but it won't let you seach for words shorter than 4 letters so it didn't work all that well.
I am wondering if it would be worth it do build my own or just buy a CAI for my car(1993 mx-6) i know that it is a matter of opinion and also how well you build them. If the DIY way is worth it what do i need (i want a fairly professional looking install no plasic buckets or anything like I have seen some ppl do before. Also where is the best place to get them i am sure that alot of the stuff can be bought from revy or someplace like that.
And i know pretty much how to do it and i can get help from friends if needed but does anyone know a website that will kind of tell me what to do. |

Not a bad write up. Althought the guy needs to get some new tires BAD, and his overspray on his brake lines is :( |

Yeah, those newer W-Body guys are pretty crafty. At least they don't have to move their battery and washer fluid resevoir,....:blink:

| Finding performance parts for my 87 CRX Si that didn't cost an arm and a leg were pretty difficult. So I had to resort to the DIY methods. I went to ABC Muffler on 50 st and picked up a mandrel bent u-bend tube from them and a generic cone filter. I than hit up Home Depot's plumbing department and got three of the rubber connectors with clamps. In the end, it cost me around $100 to make the SRI/CAI. For the winter, I can shorten it and in the summer, make it a CAI. Took me around 1 hour of time to make. I sprayed it with high temp ceramic silver paint to keep it cool. Was it worth the effort, yes. |

the only thing im worried about (on my setup) is if the plastic would melt or not... Its kinda close to my exhaust y-pipe :( I might have to find some of that silver heat reflective covering stuff...
