What did you use for a CAI?

I am surious, what have any of you used to make a cold air intake for a 3.0 24v duratec? I looked at the short ram intake that for sale out there, from like http://www.draxas.com/ but I am not sure how well it would work, since it would still draw air in from the hot engine bay.

any suggestions?

Re: What did you use for a CAI?

its pretty hard to do a true cold air intake on a taurus, especially a duratec since there's so little room and because of the battery. No matter how much the intake companies build it up, the difference between a short ram and a cold air intake is negligible.

Actually it is pretty easy.

The hardes part is getting a MAF adapter.

Draxas is out of business as far as anyone can tell.

MAF adapter.

3" aluminum tubing.

Silincone adapter from MAF to tubing.

90 degree rubber elbow

cone filter

4 clamps

go to www.taurusclub.com

Oh btw the bling is about the only good thing about it.
