It would be interesting to know the pressure drop of your cai at the entrance to the throttle body under similar conditions.

humm there nothing to discuss here as this 2011 old thread was about the custom CAI i did years ago, I went F/I so...
sorry.

looks good.

very interested to see results!

Can you post a close up of the MAF sensor mount? How do you have that welded to the pipe? Looks really great though!

I think if I can get the MAF bracket, I'll be making a set of intakes for my car as well!

Just got a new TIG welder = Win!!

unfortunately , I'm not the one that made those intake but I could easily did the same thing if I had the cutter and welder equipment since I was a TIG welder in the pass before I join the army.

the MAF bracket was done by lazer cut which was expensive to be done !

Nice work, in for results.

Wow... those look great! I'm definitely interested to see some numbers. If you don't mind sharing... How much did everything cost you?

it was about 1000$Can tax-in thats include removing the bumper and everything needed to work properly, you could maybe remove 100$ there.
but since its a custom CAI to my spec its a bit expensive.

the Stillen gen3 are about what ,.. 500-550$Us +tax brand new ?

----

there is something I forgot to say was the silicone hose is 2.75 inch ID ,, in my previous post I said it was 2.5'' from the MAF / Throttle body which is wrong. because It taper larger after the inlet fiting past the MAF sensor to 2.75'' OD

Dang... I need to find out how to get those MAF brackets.

Hmm, I wonder if I could use the OEM plastic parts and just use couplers to hold it together.

WOW! That is expensive, but since you got all the R&D maybe you can have them mass produced and become a vendor

Great work bro

Great work bro

I had an idea about this but I'm waiting to see the result on the Dyno first !

The custom CAI i have isn't for everyone because it needs to be tuned with Uprev/Cobb.

yea, that would be the downside. Unless you hooked up with Up-Rev? I guess it really depends on the results though

Good luck

In all honesty, anyone with a Stillen G3 intake should be tuned anyway since that intake tends to lean out the AF mix at the top end. It is common to see detonation up top as a consequence, but the gains are worth it and I would happily pay for a new tune if these intakes deliver!
