Making my own cai. Which filter should I use. Most bang for my buck

Best bang for the buck would be to get the K&N, you will never have to get rid of it, just clean it... it'll save you $ in the long run, I had a Spectre and it sucked itself in lol, same thing happened to my buddies Spectre on his Ford

 

[TheMaddog]

I have the oem intake off, and got the wrong sized rubber grommet. So going back today

 

[TheMaddog]

Done in about an hour and a half.

 

[TexasRammer]

Cool, are you gonna paint it? How does it attach?

 

[TheMaddog]

yes sir, gonna try to fill in the holes where the chrome part is gonna go, and then paint to match, same with the grille and rear bumper.

 

[TheMaddog]

and it fits right over it, just take off the top part, and then boom, it'll slip right on, but you'd need to drill a hole in the bumper on east side for the fender holes

Which filter did you use and how much did it run ya???

i went with spectre, haven't put it on yet, i need to find something that i can use as a reducer.

it cost's like 25 buck

 

[GhostRam94]

Oh alrighty, as soon as my mom will stop using my truck this is prob the first thing ima do

 

[TheMaddog]

it's not that bad to do, i'm painting mine, and it's been raining, so i'm giving it sometime to cure for sure, and that part is needed too.

 

[GhostRam94]

What all did you buy..... I know mine will be different but just want to get an idea

3 inch pvc pipe, spectre intake, spectre coupler, i went a little big, but i'm sure it's fine.

the spectre intake filter is awesome, i can go from 4 in, 3.5 in, and even 3.

 

[GhostRam94]

Hmm, well should get on this soon then lol.... What did you do for the sensor and that breather tube thing

 

[TheMaddog]

i'm gonna drill into the pvc for the breather, and same for the o2 sensor, just in the coupler. seal them up with silicone

 

[GhostRam94]

Sounds good, can you get some pics of these for me so I know exactly what to do

 

[TheMaddog]

okay, before I painted it, I sanded it down. But waaayyyy before that, I got my PVC primer and sealer. Use the primer(purple) then the sealer(clear). Do both pieces and get it to how you want it. Better move fast, this **** dries fast.

Here's my coupler, there is a black price where my hand is, that makes it for snug on a 2.5> inch pipe.

Here's my intake, I set it on 4, so it'll fit right over my 90* angle piece.

Hoped that helped!

 

[TheMaddog]

at first, i was thinking, make a double air intake, get a T pipe and then 2 filters, double the air. but then i looked at my funds and decided not to
