My custom 4" Intake Empty
PostSubject: My custom 4" Intake   My custom 4" Intake EmptyWed Apr 16, 2008 9:55 pm

I know its a Monte, but this would be a great addition for any of you riv guys.

I made this Intake one night over at cottons when I got bored with my gutted air box. It consists of the following pieces:
Vibrant Polished 4" Aluminum Elbow
Vibrant Double Walled Silicone Coupler (3.5-4")
Vibrant T-Clamps
Silicone walled 4" Tubing (similar to the intense stuff, a little bit thicker and smoother)
9" K&N Air Filter

My custom 4" Intake Upper3
My custom 4" Intake Upper
My custom 4" Intake Filter2
My custom 4" Intake Filter

...the setup realy works awsome. One night on a 37* evening, my IAT was only showing 42* at crusing operating temp, and dropped to as low as 40* if i was really ripping.

If anyone locally has a riv and would like me to make a nice setup like this maybe there would be some market for them on the boards.

What would you call this, a FWI? Or is in the fenderwell? I can't tell.

It sits the 9" filter WAY down in the fender well by the bumper. It places the filter a little lower than the intense/ speedbuilt fwi.

Setup is awsome imo.

Very cool. I have a similar set-up, but it's higher up in the fenderwell. At cruise, my IAT is always at or below ambient temp. I've actually seen it go -10º below ambient in the winter.

nice, mine has similar desing on the splash shield, but mine is for draining any still water. My filter actually graps air from the front grill.

I like yours it looks awsome

Brandon.. bring home some plastic. I need to make a shield for mine.

I'll try to get some pics up. I converted to 4" after seeing Brandon's.
