Land vehicle Vehicle Car Engine Mid-size car


My custom SRI used 1/16 inch thick Stainless 3 in tube ( cant weld aluminium very well ). I put the filter down and to the left more then the Injen to leave room for my catch cans. Then I'm gonna hide them and the filter with a box over top to kinda keep the stock clean look. I powder coated it myself Wrinkle black and baked in oven. If you never done this before kick the Gf/wife/kids and pets out of the house because it stinks bad.

Thats pretty clean. Thinking about doing something like this myself. No point in buying a name brand SRI or CAI when a custom diy is so easy.

125 for everything but u need a way to powder coat too i had that
That's not too bad. But with the discount codes that have been flying around I'd rather spend an extra $50 on a proven product with a warranty. Good on you though man, looks good :)

You'd really want aluminum or abs plastic on the cold side. Better heat transfer, stainless holds heat more, thus the need for powdercoat. Props to the fab work though...
I will highly disagree with you. If the car was NA maybe heat a issue but it goes through a 1000* Turbo then cooled b4 the intake manifold so it don't matter what metal or coated or not

looks pretty good! good work!

Also going to say that the metal, while under load (when the CAI/SRI matters for power) the air temperature is not going to be significantly affected by the intake piping material.
