just did a bit of playing around, and came up with this. Tell me wut you think or if anything needs to be done differently.

 

 

If the dryer vent will hold up where you live, I'd say nothing ( well maybe add a second ).

If you want to clean up the install a bit, get some 3" poly brake duct hose, and run it fron the air dam up the fender well and out into the engine compartment. This would be of more benifit if you did not have the cap on the end of the filter.

I have the drivers side air duct running up the fender and out the inner fender and the pass side running under the bottom and to the bottom point that you have.

Also found a little interesting item after having the ROUSHFAN-1 FIPK installed, the MAFS rate is less in the under 50 mph area then the same filter without the box

So while it out flowed the K&N FIPK, I found that I could squeek out a few more in the lbs/min area in the under 50 mph area by not having the 5 sided box installed ( sorry ROUSHFAN-1, AutoTap showed me this, I'm only the messenger ). Still need to get the pictures of the finished FIPK uploaded. An article at AFM made me look at the whole range of lbs/min on the MAFS flow rate.

What I wound up with was a Accufab MAFS adapter plate on the end of the K&N T/B elbow, with the 12" long filter from the JLP air Ram air box installed, and of course the 2 air ducts feeding it.

Check out the pics for the hose routing, got the hose from pitstopusa.com ( got this from Don's Bolt ).

Ya, got to do something around the filter to make it look better.

 

Can't win them all...Yeah i gotta change out that stupid looking ducting too.........where did you get the brake tubing?

 

Phil you have entirely too much time on your hands bro

 

Phillip, I like that idea, I wish you were closer, I'd get you to help figure out how to do that to my truck.

 

I got mine at www.pitstopusa.com

Thanks Steve...I remembered it was on Tim's site too. so i looked there....

 

I did the same thing last year before winter. During the summer time I noticed a lack of power after idling at stop lights. I though I would route some fresh air in their and I used the 3" dryer ducting. I also put a switched 4" electric bilge fan in the front of it all so that it would blow some fresh air into the engine compartment during times I wasn't moving. It looks kinda ugly but I wanted to see if it would survive the winter driving so I haven't cleaned it up, but here it is in my gallery.

I don't know if it made a difference though cause it never got hot after I installed it though.
