My New Cold Air Intake

[m4xwellmurd3r]

Nah, even 1024x768 is too big. I think that 800x600 is the biggest you can go without stretching the page. I didn't resize mine because the page was already strecthed. One thing for sure, you can really see the detail in your picture!

yeah, 1024 stretches it a bit, but only because of our sidebar. if not for that it would be fine.

I'm not sure if i'll put a cold air on my car yet. I just pulled the snorkel of the stock intake so now it's getting fresh air from the grill instead of the engine bay

*shrugs*

I think it gets plenty of air. But maybe I'll fab up a cold air for stupid cheap haha.

I've heard it said many times that the design of the 280Z intake is similar to a 'CAI' because of how it's set up and you don't really gain much from the aftermarket/homemade type. Not sure I really notice any performance gain, mpg is virtually the same, but I like the look and sound.

Not bad for a blackberry camera phone.

Did you ever think about straping the intake down below where the stock airbox sits?

Briefly but I did it the way I did is in case I have to switch back to the stock setup. In California, sometimes an over zealous smog technician(!) won't even run the test if you have a non stock intake.

Yeah, if I ever go with an aftermarket intake, it would mostly be for the look and sound, rather than any performance gain.

Looks Good!

For all of you who either can't afford it or don't care about the looks, check out what can be done with a dremel and about 1 hour of work.

Sounds great and "seems" to pull a little harder. Could be and probably is wishful thinking and with a K&N filter when I can afford it, it'll look even better!

, my airbox is too nice to do that to. I'd sell mine and find a rusty one first.

Yep that was it with me. the horn was crumpled on mine so I cut it off. Sounds awesome when your full on it! Reminds me of my old Quadrajet days.
