Air Intake Question
Air Intake Question
I spent most of last night admiring peoples engines and how good there intake systems looked. I want to insert new pipes and air filters on the end, similar to the below pictures. I don't have a clue what Size pipes/Air filters i am going to need. Can someone please help? I would like to know the lenght and diameter of the pipes and would a 3" Filter on the ends work?
Just to add: I want to run the air filters closed to the front of the Grill to get cooler air, I know there is problems having them next to a boiling engine
Thanks

The pipes are 3 ", I have a single NW CAI on my Roadster N/A, I run a K&N cone 3" neck x 6" x 3" filter just behind the grille.
One of the best looking ( and performing ) installations is the one by maxcichon - take a look at his gallery. He uses the enclosed inline filters.
Re: Air Intake Question
It is generally agreed that a NeedsWings single CAI is appropriate for an N/A, however the dual ( DCAI ) looks much better ( and costs more too ).

I did take a look at maxcichon Car and it's very impressive! I do notice many users are also going for the Blingy look thesedays!
Re: Air Intake Question
The OEM engine cover/filters and the plastic tubes go on your wall as a trophy, you will have no engine cover with either of the NW CAI's, unless you can pick up one of the Mercedes covers like you will find here on the forum, I think onehundred80 listed some part numbers one time - search for it.
I am happy with leaving my engine naked.
