Alright, so I took the cone off the end of the intake, and for now just have it open in the engine compartment. Do I need to unhook the battery before driving? Positive or Negative.
I have not added a new snorkel yet, I cant get the abs pipe in town. i don't like the white PVC pipe I can get. I am still looking for something that is similar to oem like tubing. I tried a shop vac wand but it is 2.5" diameter, close no cigar, next thought is a leaf blower/vac tube, but being it is February in NE they have not put them out yet. |

You COULD paint the PVC pipe black, you know. My black painted hose clamp came out looking super and added at least 100 HP! (Suppose I should post a picture of the final, glorious, all-black, $8 mod, right)? I found the ABS in Home Depot. I think it may be sewer piping. - Jack |

Boy that paint must get better with age! Last time you told it only added 30hp.

I think it has to do with the building codes in the area, no one carries the abs pipe.
Wow 100 HP that is amazing |

Bill made a post 1 hour ago? He's been on the road since 4AM I will have to investigate.

OK, here we are - the final "All Black" (apologies to the New Zealand Rugby team) version of my homemade CAI:
I compressed the bellows pretty much to give it some room to expand under engine torque and not pull the tube out of the fender wall. I noticed that earlier, when I had slid the bellows down the tube farther, it had pulled the tube out about 1/2 inch after a hard acceleration (because the engine twists away from the fender wall in this state). Another view: It's a fairly neat assembly, and even though the airflow curve is not as "smooth" as I'd like, I think it directs the flow fairly well. - Jack |

I understand why I need to unhook my battery, but for how long and also what terminal? I have reasearched alot on this mod and others like it and I'm getting conflicting times (from ten minutes to 24 hours) and differences on which terminal. I also read some where about turning on your lights or ignition or something to drain something? What does this mean.
Jack, Bill, anybody have clarifications for me? Thanks, Lynn
