Well, here she is. This thing is a freakin' monster, lol. Intake is over 4" inside diameter.
**The goal here was not to go for show, so don't ask why I didn't paint it. I never open my hood to look at my CAI tube. When I open my hood I am changing the pol or performing other maintenance, or the occasional spray down.
I have to thank Matt (mzh29) for a lot of help and pics as he has also done his own intake. His thread can be seen here (link).
Supplies (total cost: $85 shipped)
Construction
Not sure if I'm going to do a heat shield yet. A few pictures below you can see where the factory intake routing (behind the grill and through the opening next to the passenger side headlamp) was. I have a feeling there will be a lot of air flow/movement in between the filter and the engine. We'll see though.
I am planning on wrapping the tubing with DEI Cool Tape (link).
Oh, I didn't connect the IAT sensor because I wanted to let the cement cure overnight.
Pics!
Thanks for looking!

Construction
- Went together pretty damn smoothly. Just measured, made my cuts, mocked it up, and then glued it.
- After cutting, I sanded the piping, cleaned them, then dried them.
- I used a 1/2" drill bit to make an opening for the IAT sensor (moved down about 6 inches from factory location.
- I used a 1" drill bit to make an opening for the vacuum hose nipple mounting bracket.
- I utilized the factory intake mounting bracket/hardware/bushing located near the coolant tank for my plumbers strap mounting bracket.
