Custom Green Performance Intake
3 Attachment(s)
Here are a few pics of my latest creation- I had an extra intake box, so I spent some time the last few months testing different configurations... stock filter, custom K&N cone filter, Green Performance drop-in filter, no MAF screens, one screen, both screens, no trumpet, shortened trumpet, etc. My highly unscientific butt-dyno measurements combined with barely scientific GTECH numbers led me to this final configuration- one MAF screen with the stock length intake tube with trumpet, and the Green Performance filter, and the partitions removed from the airbox (more aggressive noise). I really liked what Superscout did with his customized lexan window, so I copied the idea for something personalized under my hood.
Even though it's borderline ricey, I also borrowed his idea of accent lighting inside the intake box with a small neon tube, with a relay tapped into the parking lights/headlights. No, it does nothing for performance, but it makes me smile to see it glowing when I'm checking the oil or just showing people the engine bay. First set of pics: |

... and a couple 'night shots' with the lights on:
|
Mmmmm large rotary motif sticker.... :p
|
That glass top looks hot. I def like it.
|
Thanks... I used a 3/16" piece of acrylic sheet (after a unsatisfactory attempt with 1/8").
|
looks nice. Good job
|
You better PRAY that the light doesnt come loose and get sucked in. Very creative though.
Props! |
Wow that looks great. How did you cut it?

I forgot to mention I also did this cold air duct modification to the VFAD opening- I removed the nylon sock and re-routed it straight down to the mouth of the bumper with a 3.5" ID 90 degree elbow... and I have a NACA-style ram air duct that I'm fabbing to meet up with it behind the front grill eventually: |
looks nice
good job man |
With the underhood heat the rotary kicks out, I don't know about the longevity of that rotor decal... does anyone know what kind of business might do "etching" on plexi/lexan/acrylic? I'd like that same logo in a frosted/etched look instead...
|
The best way to do it would be to do a reverse sticker like that and then sand blast it on.
|
^ beed blasting it would work the best. sand or beed, shouldn't matter.
|
Actually don't they have chemical etches, I know they do for glass? Probably easier to "paint" on a chemical etch.
