Which Cai Air Box Is Better?

[WogsRus]

will do, i plan on doing up a little DIY on it and progress pics as i go allong.

Has anyone gutted a standard airbox to put their pod filter in? I picked one up cheap but am of two minds as to whether I gut i for the pod filter or put a panel filter in it..

[mad082]

my box will look very similar to the one wogsrus posted, accept a little bit different at the back, and my afm is going to bolt to the box, and just have the adapter bolted on the inside of the box.

i think having the afm mounted to the box is a good idea since it is hard mounted in stock form, and so it doesn't rattle around and get damaged.

[WogsRus]

my HKS pod came with some great mounting brackets, it doesn't move at all, so i am planing on using these brackets to help support the box.

Hay mad082, you got any templates or design pics?

[Nozila]

check the diy section. there was a user who did his own cai box with templates and all.

thought about it.. but theres no chance one will fit in there ....you could hang it out the bottom just to hide it from cops but it would b pretty crapp.

yeah the template i am using is that guys, i wil need to modify it a little to suit my car.

[mad082]

the template is easy to make. just get some thick carboard, a pen and either scissors or a knife and just keep trimming untill you get the desired shape. take about 5 mins. i think the template is just a touch bigger than an A4 bit of paper, otherwise i would scan it so people could print it.

i think i still have the plans for that design listed above from another member a long time ago, and its actually not to bad.

Im currently redesigning my new airbox, as my other design works really well with stock cooler piping ,but with an aftermarket cooler and i can no longer use the snorkal.

My new one will still consist of 3 side walls and a lid that screws on and off for easy access to the pod, and it will have a direct feed from the front bar to the exisiting hole under the pod where the old cooler use to sit.

The inside of the air box will either be from firewall foam, or i've been to clark rubber and they sell a foam/rubber insulation, so i will be testing all this out in the coming weeks and will post my results

on a side note i've also started to remade a coil pack cover with my number plate letters cut out and meshed out and put LED's under it to

RICER!!!! hehehe

i just had a thought (i know, i'm scared too). i think i might use clips to hold the lid on. the same sort of clips as what are used on bonnets. that way it is easier to get to the box.
