Custom Intake Modification for MY99 - Description and Images

kastle · 01-14-2002, 09:15 AM

I've had a few people ask me where I purchased the parts for the custom intake.

I was able to get the 3" mandrel bent Al pipe and silicone connections from a dealer in Canada called PRM at this web site: http://www.prmracing.com e-mail: prm@idirect.com
The prices were reasonable IMHO.

2.5 X 3" reducer = 36.75 CDN
3" coupler = 14.70 CDN
bent Al pipe = 58.50 CDN
shipping was = 15.50 CDN

The total cost was about 85.50 USD. On 4/11/00 the exchange rate was 1 USD = 1.46 CDN. He indicated that a custom bend would be extra but doable. They were very accommodating and are willing to custom bend to your specs. Ask for Jerry if you call, the number is on the site. They also have their own version of a heat shielded cone filter. Their filter appears to be of better quality and construction than the Ractive filter. I plan on possibly trying one after I measure and see if I have room. As far as painting the pipe I just used a spray can of hi-temp paint and took my time doing it. I got the Ractive filter on e-bay but I have seen them advertised in SCC.

I couldn't find anyplace that wanted to just sell me the MAF adapter. The MAF adapter and bottom MAF brace I had to have custom fabricated. Kartboy made it for me and of course it's typical Kartboy quality. The upper MAF brace I made myself out of some flat stock I got at the local hardware store. Of course you guys with 00's will not have
the problems I did finding an MAF adapter since you don't need one. Lucky Ducks. I'm not sure if Kartboy's willing to make more but I think he might it's worth asking. His web site is http://www.kartboy.com. It's worth visiting just to see the Kartboy Kustoms Kool logo ;^)

After doing the temp study I feel it's necessary to get the cooler air from inside the fender so I'm gonna have to figure a way to hook mine up. It's close but apparently that's not good enough after looking at the graph. Hopefully I can do it if I switch to the PRM filter.

So far I've not had MAF problems. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but, it is mounted very solidly and I'm using the stock torque box so I'm hoping nothing will happen. I've gone to the Auto-X and driven it pretty hard too.

I hope that answers any questions, if not just Peaty me direct.

Here is a pic of what the "Snorkus" or silencer that lives in the fender looks like.

Look here too to see a small mod to the OEM airbox to open the end a little:
