homemade CAI need help!!

[mikesoc82]

i have a 1996 3.8 v6... my question is does anyone have step by step directions to doing a homemade c.a.i or ram air setup..? and is it better than the slp cai or worse? thanks

1. Remove old air box setup.
2. Buy a 45deg exhaust elbow, A rubber hose connector, and at least a foot or two of straight exhaust tubing.
3. Clean the 90 deg elbow that attaches to the throttle body.
4. Paint the tubing.
5. Use the 45deg to get through the area on the drivers side.
6. Connect the straight tube to the stock 90deg elbow and fix the 45deg one to the straight one using the rubber hose connector. (this is kinda time consuming)
7. Go down from the 45 as far as you want and then put on a cone filter. \

I dont think your going to see any big performance gain from a custom to a manufactured CAI. Also this is what I did for my 3.4

Don't you also need an O2 sensor bung and an 02 sensor?
