Home depot intakes, cutouts, and burnouts rule

[GP99GT]

So i was browsing the aisles in home depot today and came across some aluminum tubing stuff, and after messing around with it a little i decided i could make this work for a CAI. The tube has a 9" K&N filter inside, and the tube attaches to a metal thing that opens up in a rectangle shape (similar to LS1 airboxes), and draws in air from right behind the headlight. Oh, and it only cost me $15 :lol: as opposed to the airboxes you can buy that cost like $220, this will do a good enough job for me.

Im hoping to hit 15.2 with my seats taken out, less gas, and some tire pressure adjustments.

:rice: :lol: so um, your intake is all blocked off with the headlight in? Interesting... and nice 2 tire fire haha

Looks pretty good man. I wouldve somehow mounted it in the driver side foglight with a snorkel, but thats just me. GJ on the burnout ;-)

Nice cheapo job, but the opening looks pretty small. I don't know how much air is getting into that filter now.

theres actually more open filter than it looks, just the picture is crappy. its more restrictive still, but cold air is more what i need i think.

I hope it doesnt trap heat around the filter for you and make the intake charge even hotter...especially when summer is just around the corner.

A cheap, imitation-way to make "Somewhat-of-A Ram Air" is dual snorkels. Have 1 snorkel hooked up behind each foglight hole with the lenses removed (unless you love them to death). Theres a 305 (carbed) with it done on cardomain and had gains of around 10-12 extra horses + a Grand Am had it done. Seems to work, putting my 2 cents in :)

Cool!

I run the cheapie home depot intake on the bird + slp cold air kit.

Can you get a tube down to the bottom of the fender?

It would be a bit more effecient down there.
