I think a cold air intake would be a great add on to our cars, but is there any space???



i have never seen it, anything we can take off or a way to do it??

I saw one where a guy had drilled a hole and ran the pipe around the radiator, and rotayman88's staged upgrade list in the FAQ said that he saw a gain of 6 rwhp on a car like that, so it just depends on if you think it's worth it.

well if you want to; take out the windsheild washer resv, then cut straight down into the brake duct, throw the filter in there. That is striaght down where the stock location is.

My idea, while not an actual cold air intake in your definition, would be making a cold air box in the bay, then routing cold air from the unused ducting in the front bumper using a divider to keep the air from moving to the radiator.



Heres a pic of what I'm talking about.
