LOL...I dont plan on doing any mud bogging...haha but thanks for the heads up...


*HOWEVER* If I do decide to go deep water forging, or mud bogging, its a simple fix...pull the 90 degree elbow along with the long tube, disconnect the bottom section and leave it mounted...and rotate it back to the stock position with a filter on it :)





Did you have a CAI kit before you made your own? and how much of a difference did it make once you started pulling true cold air from the front of your bumper?

haha just be careful..im sure mine acted like a scoop to pick up as much water as possible..

i honestly gained 2 mpg on the interstate, maybe 1 in town..it has more power at higher speed since some air is actually getting forced in..i also took my stock intake tube and cut off the silencer box and patched it up so now its just straight through..

I know this is a bit LONGER then my K&N tube, but I believe the true COLD air will outweigh the length issue
