i just got through installing a homemade induction kit with an exposed cone-shaped air filter, for less than $40!!!
Bought this conduit hanger from home depot, for 5.97, with a flat end to match up to the MAS, and a round end to connect to this universal cone air filter i bought for 24.99. I got a sheet of tin and fabricated it to make a piece that allows the conduit hanger to screw right onto the MAS. i found a little bit of cork sheeting to make some gaskets, and plugged up the vacuum that runs to the throttle body or manifold (not the one that goes to the factory intake tube--thats gone).
i am really stoked that i did it for less than $40, in less than an hour, BUT....
my truck runs like feces.
-does the computer really notice and tell the engine to mix more gas?
-how long does it take to run right or better or whatever?
ALSO:
if anyone wants more details about my setup, let me know...
