air box.

Ok. So you used your own design skills to run air from the grill inlet to the tube and in? Did you gain anything? Im ready to stay stock air unless I hear that youll get something. thanks for the input. Shawn

well first I modified my grille,and opened large hole next to radiator.Then mounted filter,and ran tubing to it.Yes it helped take off,and gives a nice sucking sound.

so the 2 by 3 inch hole at the grill for my stock box is not big enough to take the intake tube youre talking about? Could you show the web site for the specter tubing? Thanks. Shawn
