Intake Ideas Wanted!

I'm looking for some good intake ideas. My current one works but doesn't take too much advantage of me cutting up my headlight.

Contact Collin@toxicfab he could very easily make something up for you...I am assuming you are using a 4 inch intake? You may need to buy a smaller air filter...

Thanks for the contact. I'm thinking a smaller filter will be in my future. I have a friend at work that keeps bragging about his fab skills so i was going to let him try, but if it doesn't work out I'll try Collin.

Way to contribute a valuable piece of information.

My favorite intake is STM's 4". Although it isn't hard making your own intake. I'm having a shop make mine from parts bought at a hardware store.

Got one from Japan while overseas. It's very functional with a heat shield over the filter, yet allows enough air flow.
Look for thread #41218 on evoxforums.

I think you already have a pretty extreme setup. I would just continue to allow that huge 4 inch intake suck in air as unrestricted as possible and let that giant intercooler do it's job of cooling the air.

Not bad really I did open up the headlight and paint it at the same time. Once you have just the lens in your hand it takes a dremel and patience.
