Hey Folks:
Hoping to get both feedback and suggestions on cold air intake. Currently run a 12 round KN max flo intake (side and top filter). That said, i get stuck in traffic in socal and the engine bay heats up, A LOT. Was wondering what folks think of this idea...
Run a dual 4" intake plenum off to one side. Passenger side. Then run two 4" flex tubes down that side of the engine bay, to the outside of the exhaust manifold. Then mount and attach two cone filters, that are shielded from what every radiating heat may be coming from the manifold. The cone filters would be about 10-14" off the ground, tucked close to the firewall and as close to the inside passenger side sheet metal. There is plenty of space there. The filters would what I would believe is coldish air, certainly probably colder than being stuck ontop of that heat monster... both when parked and when going fast.
Parts are fairly inexpensive, plenty of space to do this, especially with carbon can removed, seems like it would get good cool air... and no silly giant elephant ears.
Thoughts?
