And about that CRAI, I messaged Shizznaz(poster of the video and person who did the intake) and he sent me this about 2 months ago:

First off. I am using the stock airbox with a K&N air filter. And I am using the stock intake piping up untill it reaches the fog light cavity in the corner of the front bumper. Inside that cavity. There is an intake resonator. And from that it goes back up into the engine bay, and connects to the drivers side fender which is where the stock intake picks up its air. I Basically just cut off the resonator so that way the stock piping would now be picking air up from the fog light cavity.

From there, I removed the resonator, and the pipe leading to the fender. And there is short rubber pipe thing which is what you see coming out of the fog light hole. That is exactly 3 inches in diameter. So I cut a hole in the fog light cover using a dremel. So in order to get the stock intake pipe to pull air directly from this rubber tube that you see. You gotta get some kind of rubing or ducting to connect the two. I just went to home depot and bought some expandable and flexible metal ducting that should be in the air vent section. It is also 3 inches in diameter. I simply just cut it to size, and used some aluminum tape and duct tape to connect the ducting to the stock intake pipe as well as the rubber tube thing.

Now. if you decide to do this, there are a few things that I did in order to get this to not only fit, but to work properly without causing harm to the engine. First off. The tube that use to lead to the resonator. Its an oval shape in order to fit the tight quarters .. You just need to bend and shape the metal tubing that you can get at home depot and tape it together.

-------

However. There is a mush easier wat to do this. its something I have been wanting to do. but Im short on cash. You could go online and purchase brake ducting that racing teams use to cool their brakes. They come in all sorts of sizes but all you need is 3 inch inner diameter. And you can run this strait to the air box, all the way to the fog light cover just like I have it. This would be the best way to do it. Because it would be more free flowing.

If you have any other questions, feel free to email me. EMAIL ADDRESS was here but I took it out incase he doesn't want others to contact him.
