Well, I was bored and figured I'd try a simple design for an intake setup. I bought a plastic trashcan at home depot and cut it to size and cut holes for air feed and MAF, and installed it. It doesnt look the best or most professional but hey, its unique. Let me know what you think.

And heres a very short and crappy clip, you can't really hear it that well, IMO it sounds a lot better in person.

That looks pretty good. Keep up updated on the gains, if any.......

Maybe a how to?

Alright, well I went for a couple of quick drives after I installed it and all I can say is WOW. Makes a lot deeper growl when under heavy throttle. I can actually hear the turbo spooling a little too which is pleasing to the ears. And of coarse that pleasant blow-off when you let off throttle. I have noticed better pick-up and launches seem somewhat better. (at least the butt-dyno thinks so) So far I am realy really happy with this intake and I'll keep you all updated.

Looks interesting, beats the 400 bucks for the Evolve AMS. One suggestion, change out the little bolts to rivets with washers, would look a bit cleaner. Also is that pool hose feeding unfiltered air through the end of the filter?? If so, NOT GOOD!!

Re: Custom Intake complete... (bobbrown13)

Alright yea I was thinking of making a little cleaner with something like rivets. Where do you think I can get a rivet gun for cheap? And yea that is pool hose but its leading to the top part of the filter that looks like this. Its not open inside that hole of the filter.

Thanks man. I just went out and bought another trashcan because I'm going to re-make the heatshield to be a little more exact with my cuts because when I made it last night I was in a hurry and I wasnt that careful with my cuts, so I want to make it fit better and redo the weather stripping with rivets. You can't beat $5.99 for a heat shield, haha

I applaud your originality. I don't think IPD will appreciate your placement of their sticker haha.

 

[juve021]

Very cool Brian. Good job on this. I never thought a trash can could be made into an intake heat shield! Definitely worth it if you're looking for an open filter/short ram style intake.

Looks really good. Is that blue hose going to the front air intake that sucks in air behind the grille?

Rivet guns are relatively cheap at Home Depot even. Once you have one, you wont believe how many times you will actualy say to yourself "Man I should rivet this".

Re: (cmurphy2266)

Thanks guys ^ and that blue hose is actually just running basically to where you see it end near the front, its geting air front that little crack between the hood and fender when the hood is closed, prolly no effect at all but w/e haha

Actually i took off the iPd emblem when I re-did the heatshield the other day. Heres a couple pics of what it looks like now in and out of the car. Let me remind you that unfortunately the heatshield warps because of the akward position and the heat.

Re: (bpray9223)

Get a A for creativity now get some sheet metal and a metal brake some black paint and BAM!All good designs start with a low cost prototype.

looks...trashy...

its sad but this design is pretty much the same as most aftermarket designs lol. its your car, if it works, go with it. but im with the previous poster, get some sheet metal and tack weld it together.

if I had the right equipment I could make some awesome heat shields, but I don't

Re: (GiRaff3)

If i had ready access to a welder I'd be all over the sheet metal heatshield. But unfortunately I don't, but eventually if I find someone with a welder I will remake the heatshield with sheet metal. And yes I know its made out of a trashcan but its cost/effectiveness is really high.

 

[cmurphy2266]

Nice! Rev.2 of the bpray intake looks a lot better!
