Start of my Intake
 

So this is the start of me redueing the Intake, to a Short Ram.. i want to do cold air, but im weary cuz of the area i live in.

But with just the filter, i can hear a difference, as well as a driving difference. how much will this help my fuel mpgs?

and fyi, that orange crap below the filter, is the rust crap that was underneath the stock box.. i will be fixing that prob lol.. count on that

dont you just love the roar it makes now :p

some, not much. get the full tubing.

lol the roar is cool.

and i am.. i just want to see how the filter would fit.. im gonna get the tubing either this weekend, or nextweek. ill post pics when im finished.

Warm air intake will give you better mpg, cold air intake will hurt your mpg but give you better performance in return. But the mpg difference would probably not be enough to notice either way.

am i better off going straight to the TB or just replacing the stock tube?

lol i have seen people put warm air intakes on aleros

lol.. i might do cold air down the road

go straight through to the TB thats the only way you can get the full benefits

the stock tubing (before the TB)was the same size as the WAI tubing.... why would removing that matter?

it's ribbed

for her pleasure... so? your saying because i didn't take that part out, that i'm being robbed of performance???

ribs = air flow resistance

ahhh k then, that answers my question.

ouch cherry!

Gotta say it CLEAN THAT ENGINE BAY!!! :lol:

Other than that, it's a good start

lol.. i know i know, its on my list of things to do.
and thanks

how much that cost u?

the filter was 26 at autozone..
the piping w/ couplers will b lke 50ish

anyone know of a link with the entire cold air intake whatevers all in one spot (so theres no need for a buy filter, buy tube, just buy one thing and u get it all) or a the name of a type of filter would work too (2.2L ecotec)
