Homemade Icebox Intake
So I did an Oil change on my Car @ work today and finally looked into how our intakes work....
When I did my Fog light install last year I noticed a huge baffle/box behind the left fog light. The purpose of this is to reduce throttle noise and keep engine form getting water in it. Well bottom line it's way too restrictive. So I cut the puppy out and removed the pipe that goes up to the fender so the air comes in right behind the fog light!  Here are the pix of what I took out.....  here is the baffle split in 2....  here is where I cut the pipe I did it so I could glue it back together if I needed  here is complete picture list of parts I took out...  when you pop the hood you can't even see what I did lol looks stock up untill where it goes behind the fog light.....where the big box/ baffle is........cost zero $ and great sound too! Tools needed 10mm on a 1/4 ratchet (to remove 2 bolts) Hacksaw or razorblade 2 long zip ties to resecure what is left in car. (soon to be a metal tab that bolts to body of car) oh yeah and I am also running a K&N in box air filter... here is one of my last mods I have yet to do lol and its part of the stock setup yet again costing me 0 dollars!  here is a pix of it removed....  here is a pix of the first part that you will have to buy if you don't have one lying around....a hose clamp....I will be using this to keep the end from coming off the intake tube... When you guys see the end result you will think it was ment to be there....    I am basicly connecting it on backwards this will help bring the intake tube inlet a little closer to the front of the vehicle.... ok here is the pix of inside the car as you can see this is the piece that I seperated from the baffle...  Now I added the last part the end piece and when I did this after i put everything back together it sounded even more loud  if you are wontering what the small part is above that snakes with the intake tube its an air chamber for throttle responce I left this on and wiht the addition of the last piece I bellieve it helped my throttle even better....   ok now here are some pix of the final setup with everything in the car from the bottom looking up...  side view note the foglight location...  bottom of car after wheel well is installed...   Metal bracket:   Here are 2 vids: Cold start up: CustomIntake022.flv - Video - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Driving with window open: CustomIntake023.flv - Video - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting I have to admit it sounds better after it's warmed up and RPM's are down....I do notice a difference for the better in throttle and accel just around when VTEC kicks in....
