Fenderwell Intake?

[StvnRowe]

has anyone looked at or used the Speedbuilt Fenderwell Intake System that they have on pfyc.com? I was origionally gonna go with the thrasher CAI but now im not sure. Just wanted to get some other people's opinions.

Dont let yerself get ripped off. Almost 200 dollars for a filter and a peice of pipe? Make yer own. You can make one thats just about as good as those ones for about 50 bucks. Just pick up a k&n cone filter for 40 bucks and then go to home depot and get some 4 inch black abs pipe, a 90 degree elbow, and some couplers and yer all set. There are a few websites around with instructions on how to build one. See if you can find someone who knows of one. I used website instructions to help me build mine but i cant remeber the url.

Oh by the way FWI is the way to go.

That should give you acouple days.
Now let me tell you what I think, if anyone cares. Buy the Thrasher. I think it's one of the best. SLP has a nice one too. Thrashers only trouble is the "tin" they use to cover the CPU. It just sits on a peice of rubber. Need to buy the CPU tray. Then you have a nice setup. It's what I'm using.
OH, thank BIG-L for the links. The man has just about everything.

I think Big-L is the link master!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made mine according to the John Vegas link above. Great instructions and photos and simple to do. And true, cost-filter $45, Home Depot $7. I'm gonna fabricate a cover for the opening in the fender around the pipe out of an old heavy rubber floor mat.

FWI seems to be the most cost effective way to cold air, however a true CAI box that is well insulated and separate from the engine compartment will have a little better airflow w/near same temps due to shorter intake pipe and less static pressure.

if you're a poor college student like me, go with the FWI and just be sure to fabricate some kind of water deterrent for the filter just in case.

if you can't decide whether to take the GT, the GTP, or the GTX to work today, then you go and get the CAI

happy intaking

blurr,
I had that trouble every day. Which car I was going to take to work. Stored the GT and GTP, that took care of that.
To the CAI. 90% on the market have no insulation at all. Most sell kits to wrap the "hose".
Know what it is to be a college student. After doing 3 years in the Army, I did 4 years of college. Money gets real tight. That's why some of the "home made" items. They work.
Warrior,
Big-L will always be the "LINK MASTER". The guy just has a way of finding what everyone needs. And as soon as he gives me his car.......

i dont know of such an animal...or that it would work/how it would look. i think i know what you're trying to get at though. i think your best bet would be to go with a str8 forward FWI or a CAI, the benefits from what you are talkin about may not be substantial

and i want bears dammit i want to say bearfucker...tho kermit is quite disturbing

[Odin]

ill try fer the bear but dun hold yr breath
