homemade cai
 
i have a question, i have a 91 240 and i was wondering if i made a cai by myself would it do the same thing as a injen intake? i found a site where they show you how to make your own cai but its for a delsol. (http://www.teamdelsol.com/ go to information/howto and its in there). does anyone know if this way would work on my car or not.

Thats one way to do it, but you can also use 2 ebay intakes(the cheap ones) Throw out both intakes and mix and match the piping. I beleive Raine has a idea on how to do it

IAM-SO-sLOw May 23, 2004 12:18 PM

o.. thanks for the info..i got two questions. i was wondering if i did it this way will it be as good as a the injen cai. and if i buy the cai extention will it do as good if i put it on stock piping?

lol im a newbie. sorry =(

There is very little difference between the two, I'm sure you will not notice it that much

IAM-SO-sLOw May 23, 2004 04:09 PM

o alright thanks

PLUG! lol

...anyhoo, yeah pick up like 2 of those generic intakes on Ebay ($25-30ish each). When you get them from the old brown shorts guy (UPS) install one as directed, so you have yourself a short ram intake installed. Then, keeping everything else in place, take off only the air filter. Now grab the 2nd intake pipe and with a little twisting and meneuvering you'll get it to mate up to the MAF... then a little trimming down below to position the air filter (which would now sit under the fender). I'd show you how but my friend crashed his car so it's gone :eek:

that could but to get out of the ticket you need to have a C.A.R.B. serial badge that comes with the injen intakes

yeah I meant the carb thingy... but I know what you mean - people have asked if it's enough to put the actual "INJEN" sticker on their piping (I used to work at a car shop) LOL

...as if Cops will say "oh - Injen. Okay it's legal"... they can't even differentiate between an aftermarket exhaust, and a stock muffler with a welded on 4" tip :p
