If you decide to do this, you may want to consider a CAI.

I have a K&N Cone filter on my car. If you decide to do this, you may want to consider a CAI. I have a really ghetto one on my car. Its not very showy, but it gets the job done. Its also kind of a ram air system since the intake is down in one of the air vents where moving air can be forced in. Its made out of an empty windshield wiper fluid bottle, dryer ducting, and a whole lotta duct tape.
That white thing is the wiper fluid bottle, which contains the cone filter, making sort of an airbox. Note the dryer ducting exiting through the hole in the fender well.

This photo shows the inlet on the lower drivers side vent. The tube is capped off with window screen to prevent it from ingesting leaves and other debris.

I have had no problems with water thus far, and the CAI seems to be doing its job. Its not flashy, but it is effective.

What kind of filters are you using?Originally posted by 93 Sable@Aug 17 2004, 06:41 PM
Not relating to this specific question but still intake silencer related. I removed the silencer from my 93 3.8 sable and it sounded MEAN, but I removed it from my 94 3.8 and it made NO DIFFERENCE in sound at all, what gives.
Don't be sorry, I completely understand. And I'll be the first to tell you, there is nothing professional or showy about my CAI, but I'm not entering any car shows, much less poping my hood for Joe Schmo, so appearance isnt of utmost concern. I may spray paint it black in a week or so, that way it wont look so ridiculous. However, I do know that it works(the wiper fluid bottle collapses a bit at WOT, which is probably an indication of restriction). I do get a little self conscious when Im forced to take it into the shop, and the lead mechanic goes "Nice little hot rod you got there"<smirk>, cause I can just imagine all the mechanics standing in a circle around the car laughing. But, hey, at least I brought a little entertainment into their workday.Sorry for this... I respect your work, but HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
