Default Dual CAI for the NA

I already posted this at CICCI so I thought I would post it here also. I just finished polishing a Dual CAI that a friend and I made for my NA crossfire. It is made from stainless steel. The 2 side pipes are 2 1/2" and they go into a 3" and then into the throttlebody. It produces a nice sound and improved gas mileage. The air filters are located behind the grill, the horns have been relocated behind the bumper to allow room for the filters. I purchased the Mercedes engine cover from the Mercedes dealer and it fits with minor trimming to allow for the rad hose which you can see in the pictures. I will be getting the top if the intake plenum (center of the engine cover) polished over the winter time just to finish off the polished look. Thanks for looking.

Quality job looks great!
I made a single and moved the maf to make a good bend at the back of the motor.
Seems to move plenty of air but your looks much cooler! congrats

Very nice job.
It would be interesting to see some dyno curves. Sometimes too much air is a bad thing, you can lose torque but your hp goes up.

Valk - The MAF sensor is tucked in the lower portion (in the 3" part) out of sight. I will take a pic later tonight of it if you want.

tighed1 - I do not have an SRT available to play around with so I can't make one..... yet. Maybe one day!

spensley - I also would like to get it on the dyno. There are at least 3 shops within an hour or so drive from me so I will get some info on how much it cost, the type of dyno, stuff like that soon.
