ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 ill get back to you on that got to get a price from my guy who does the the polishing and final little touch ups 4 me, thanks Choice, that would be great. Could you not line it with something to make less heat emit through the metal? also is it completely open underneath ie where does it let air in from? Could you take a pic of it out of the car? Id probably make one myself, if i knew how to weld and if i had the time/resources..... Cheers Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 its a type of plastic, not sure what it stands for. the thinking behind it is that metal absorbs heat and re radiates it into the cold air box, making it warmer. having said that yours looks super balla, and should be taking enough cold air anyway.

bravo 34 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 Looks really good. My only comment is that the more level you keep the AFM, the better. I may look into building a carbon one - have a mate who is handy with carbon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is good a CAI tip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
