Default DIY Performance Intake (Like Code 3's)
Hey Folks!
Follow along and you too can make your very own Performance Intake.

MATERIALS: (seen precut in photo two below)
Medium to fine metal mesh (medium flows better)
Air filter material (I used a home heater HEPA filter)

TOOLS:
Bit to remove intake back plate
Hack saw (Band saw easier)
File (to clean up your lousy hack saw cut)
Metal snips
Scissors
Sharpie

Gather materials, remove intake assembly and the back intake plate.

Using a hack saw cut the mounting "ring" away from the rest of the back plate. You will end up with just the outer mounting plate as shown on the right in photo below. Use the file to even and smooth things out from your rough saw cut.


Draw an outline of the outer part of the mounting plate onto the mesh.
Cut the mesh to match the mounting plate.
Cut the filter material large enough so you can double the material over for twice the filtering effect.
Stack the materials in this order- mesh- doubled filter-mounting plate.
Here is what you should have.


Using the original screws install your new performance intake onto the intake assembly.
Remount the air intake assembly on the car.
Take a drive and revel in your greatness and the sweeeeet supercharger whine!!!
Enjoy!
