AFE Cold Air Intake, YES OR NO?

Stunning! I am now too embarrassed to post my little piece. How did you seal the inlet mouth?

I am running a BMC CDA airbox as well, but with the X51 3.8 in my car, the only place I could fit the actual filter canister was wedged up by the intake manifold, so I ran SCAT hose up to a scoop from Kokeln. From the CDA up to the throttle body is all AL hardpipe and silicone elbows/ joiners.

That carbon work is SEXY, however.

Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words. I just sealed that angled piece off with stick on foam and tape.

I have more straight carbon tube, elbows and 80mm silicon hose if anyone is keen. (Just fit your own filter to the other side of the MAF) being all carbon though, it ain't cheap!!!

Everything in my setup is 3.5"(89mm) until it necks down at the throttle body to 3.25" (83mm).

Yeah that might be better on the big motor. On my 2.5l the intake was 80mm that was reduced in a few places. So to keep the MAF measuring right I used a mix of 80mm and 75.5mm gear.
