New Custom CAI for the TPI Monte!

After reading someone's great idea about using electrical PVC conduit to make a CAI, I stopped by Lowe's and picked up a 90* 3" elbow and went to town. After cutting to fit, I painted it with black Krylon bumper/trim paint to give that nice, almost stock look. Finally cleaned my K&N after 6 years too. My 355 can finally breathe better. Next up will be a 52mm throttlebody.

Thanx guys! Once I finish the winter upgrades (larger TB, new plugs/wires) I'll get her on the dyno and see how much power she's making.
