My car still has no left front brake pads and a bad gas leak but i got bored today so i threw together a CAI. Total cost to me $1.85 for a 1 litre bottle of pepsi.The rest of the stuff i had lying around. I used a intake tube of a N/A 2.5,1litre bottle of pepsi with the ends cut off , a cone filter i had lying around
and....Ducttape!

The factory air intake under the headlight is good enough for me.

ZERO dollar and it draws air OUTSIDE of the engine bay.

It doesn't look to good for a DD, the filter is going to get wet/dirty FAST!

I did something similar on my 3.0 na Spirit and made a huge difference at the track, mine was Ram Air though. I had the filter just like yours in a stockish place(where your pop bottle is) then a funnel cut and taped around it with a hose that ran under and another funnel to scoop the air(supported w/ zip ties of course)

I had my filter placed in a similar location on my neon N/A build... worked out very well. Just don't go driving through lakes and rivers, you'll be fine

I don't plan on going bogging in puddles . And where it is sitting it really shouldn't get that wet.

Duct tape increases the man mojo of any car by at least 5 points.
