sonyman87 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 Battery relocation link below, and i had my setup into 3 peices of bent pipe each one custum. you can probably get away with only 1 or 2 peices. Just besure to measure http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23047 if the pics dont work i will make this page avalible on cardomain.. I think they changed their imagehosting policy Quote
terryk2003 Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Posted December 18, 2004 NOPE...those pics don't work :? Quote
CuttySup Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 A friend of mine with an '02 GTP has one. They're loud as hell; you can hear them from a mile away because they suck in so much air. When you stab the gas they make a zippy, whistling noise. I think they suck in a little too much air, more than what the engine can handle. He says he noticed it struggle sometimes. Quote

terryk2003 Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Posted December 19, 2004 ok...thanx turby...i PMed him...so, i guess i'll see if he has any pix... Quote
Canada Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 You guys with the OHV engines don't need to relocate your battery to have a CAI........... Also, what kind of pipe bender is this? Is it a rotary-draw or mandrel bender (equal diameter bends) or a crappy press bender like exhaust shops use (that neck down on the bends)? Either way, if *I* had an OHV W-Body, I'd buy one of the cheapo E-Bay WAI's, and then one 90 deg, and one 45 deg aluminum 3in bend, along with some extra straight piping and two extra couplers, then relocate the filter to below and in front of the front exhaust manifold (attatch the 90 deg bend to the end of the WAI pipe, and run it back towards the center of the car over the coolant pipe [or under depending on whether you have an MFI 3.1L or an SFI 3100], then the 45 deg bend down below the front exhaust manifold, and on top of the AC lines)...........this way you get a good source of cool air from below the car and don't have to worry about battery relocation. Sure there may be a little bit of radiated heat from the manifold, but ANY foward motion is going to provide cool air to the filter. Just don't go bashing snowbanks or hitting DEEP puddles with this setup......... Quote

5speedz34 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Posted December 22, 2004 You might be able to get that rubber adaptor, at Autozone, or Murrays. I would try APC? or Summit? Quote

Dannymik Posted December 24, 2004 Report Posted December 24, 2004 The FWI is suppose to be the best way to go with not breaking the bank, but do consider the risk of a wet climate. THis is why I'm going with a wizaired design. Quote

THis is why I'm going with a wizaired design. yeah...i was kinda thinkin about the snow and shit...what i'll prolly do is install the fenderwell intake in the spring...then run it through the fall...then swap back to the factory airbox in the winter time...

sonyman87 Posted December 24, 2004 Report Posted December 24, 2004 i serously dont see how weather would be a problem. atleast with my car the bottom has a plastic guard keeping the elements out .. in a way its almost like a caul(sp?) induciton without being in the hood. Quote

Baddflash Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 I drove it a bit when the roads were really slushy and not a thing on it, I don't think debris is a problem located there. Quote
terryk2003 Posted December 26, 2004 Author Report Posted December 26, 2004 THANX FOR THE PIC!!!...thats pretty much what i wanna do... Quote
Carotop Posted December 26, 2004 Report Posted December 26, 2004 If I wanna get one bent for my 3.1 how much pipe would I need? Maybe just to drop it down without having to move the battery. Quote

Maybe just to drop it down without having to move the battery. umm...i don't think there is anywhere for it to go without removing the battery!?... ...AND...you would have to measure it from the throttle body to wherever you want it to stop to figure out how much pipe you will need...

Unless you want to cut some holes into your hood and make it a ram air design :shock: Quote
