And after

 

Here's a cheap mod for you guys only about 20 bucks... Apparently alot of cold air intakes are not good for our motors and heads and everything, so I referred to this old school mod. Going to pismo this weekend I had to do something so I wasn't gunna suck sand straight out of my wheel well( the OEM location. First go buy a deck cap from a marine/ boat store it's cheap!


Then cut a 4inch hole in the front of your air box ( location will be behind your headlight), and block off your OEM intake port... Be creative I used a hose clamp and plumbing tar tape.



Also buy a kitchen sink drain catch mesh thing lol


Then unscrew the center of the deck cap out and cut the center out to fit the drain mesh in and jb weld the screen on


I painted my ring black btw

Fit in the outer ring into your airbox and screw it into place


Now reinstall your intake... Without the screen insert you will get the most performance increase an I DID notice a small increase in throttle response and power but this mod for me is more for the intake location so I don't get stuff in the box. You can now screw the screen in for off road use and keep it off for on road if you want to.




Anther thing to note as well is if you are not worried about your wheel well oem intake location, you can keep the original intake port how it is and just by adding the port infront, therefor creating 2 ports, you will gain the most performance out of this mod, but I deleted mine due to debris getting sucked in the wheel well. This mod is apparently better for your motor than most cold air intakes. It doesn't look as cool but I'm about function I guess. Although the aem and k&n systems look sick! Well enjoy!

 

Installed my extinguisher

 

Took it out for a test run and that extinguisher is solid! Not gunna lie I was a little hesitant.

 

Nice Build....
