SLP CAI for 95-97's ....question.

[ravenp]

Hey guys n' gals. What (if anything) did you guys do to the enclosure around the 2 filters to allow more air in? I'm thinking of drilling some holes in there to allow more cold air... don't want to increase the chances of water getting it though I suppose.

Any suggestions?
THanks...

Cut out a hole in the plastic piece under the car directly under the filters and install a small scoop :D Be sure to put a screen in it to prevent leaves or other large objects from getting and clogging it up [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Or *cough* small animals. It would be sad to be driving down the road and have your filter plugged by a squirrel or something.

Here it is if you want it. Its for the LT-1 but the procedure is the same.

LT1 Ram Air Scoop

i did a small scoop like that and i already had a cai, and i didn't feel $hit. i bought an a/c duct elbow. it basically looks like a huge scoop about 3.5x10in. and put it in that same location and right after install went on 250mi. highway trip and felt a huge difference at high speeds. i did not like the fact that it scrapped on everything and eventually got crumpled so badly i took it off. now i have a totally diff. set up.

This is the upgrade I did, but I used a wider scoop, and I did feel a difference. Especially in the warmer weather. I also noted that the sound was a lot better thru my Exhaust.

At the bottom of the page there are some other links to pics and mods to my car. Hop this helps.

BTW mine never scrapes, unless your car is lowered or you made the mouth too low, you shouldn't have to worry about it.

JinX, i like your setup...thanks for the info. I am going to have to do something here.

I guess it's harder for you to change a turnsignal bulb now though eh? : )

They were already a pain in the butt. But to tell you the truth when I put it in, I replaced the turn bulbs anyway with long life bulbs.
