PM'd you.

And what's the difference of this and the 'real one'. More money for equal or less power?

Did some painting tonight. Decided to paint prior to install. What the heck!

Using flat black high temp paint. Provides smooth stock finish and makes the pipe look more stock.

Enjoy!

One short pipe remaining.

Two long pipes remaining.

This was a limited run.

PM with questions.

TBBandit 08-02-2012 02:56 PM

Maf came today ...so we r on for Saturday

Good evening everyone.

So I decided that this will be my first and last limited run of making the short stock intake tube delete as well as long tube for cold air intake system. Summer is ending and my availability is limited with work, family, etc. Sorry.

On a happier note, I painted tonight. Actually quite a bit! I used a few different colors with a few different textures. And bottom line, they all turned out great and are very durable. I'm pleased.

I have a couple of colors and configurations set aside for my, as well as TBBandit's R&D cycles this weekend.

Though, I do have a few available to do with whatever and share with you. I have one short black texture and one long black texture both painted. I also have one short and one long both unpainted (either or can be painted per request).

Take a look and let me know your thoughts!

Thanks for the inspiration!

Brian

I am torn between the reds..but they all look good.

xcelir8brz 08-03-2012 05:42 PM

The darker red tube was actually made with a metallic blue base coat and overlaying red on top of that. Looks kind of like the original AEM 'Red' CAI's.

Ready for tomorrow? I am. Excited to get the twins all CAI'd up. And I want to see the look on your face when you hear the intake. It sounds extremely mean and wicked. And honestly, the airbox/heatshield setup we will employ looks really good and extremely functional. Total cost of all DIY parts is near half the price of other systems out there. Even the little guy(s) win.

What filter did you end up getting?

xcelir8brz 08-03-2012 05:44 PM

I might (time barring) get a jump on my vehicle tonight. At least to fab out some new brackets.
