Default Jordo!'s Intake Project

Here are some teaser shots of my intake project, currently in progress.

The goals are:

1. Better breathing, more airflow!

2. Correct metering of air mass so happy ECU and no off-idle lag.

3. Maintain OEM heatshielding and (nigh) OEM look.

4. Should sound a bit meaner too.

And all on a budget...

The details: I am using the OEM MAF sensor holder to maintain stock diameter for proper air mass readings, keeping (for now) the OEM intake tubes, and even making use of the OEM airboxes to block heat.

The filters are K&N RX3820 which has a nice open top and built in velocity stack. Note that the open top will be positioned perfectly for the OEM cool air duct (or at least it should once installed...)

I need to do something about the back to perfectly seal it against underhood heat tho...

I think some sort of reducer couper or rubber boot that is 6.5" to 4.5" would be perfect --anyone know where I can find something like that with those dimensions? (see example below)
