I was bored yesterday, and found the trashcan in my closet that I bought to make a CAI last year. I did it a little different from the guy that made one for his Lightning, and the side of the intake that goes towards the engine is the open end of the trashcan. The trashcan was actually small enough to where the diameter of the filter almost filled the whole space. I added some weather stripping around the inside of the trashcan to take up the extra space, and I added copper tubing insulation around the top of the CAI to get as close to the underside of the hood as possible. There is still a bit of a gap on a little bit of one side. The trashcan is a little flimsy in my opinion, and it won't work as good as an Airaid shield, but hopefully it's better than nothing. I was kinda thinking the force of air coming through the fender might create a possitive pressure to keep the warm air out. I'll get photos posted up soon.

 

Sounds cool, can't wait to see some pics
