Yeah i've seen his. there's another one where someone went right into the middle of the cowl with 3" pvc.

 

XJdude2000 did u eva finsh this mod or did u scrap it?

 

right now the intake is on the back burner. i have DO have a cracked head so i am looking for a new or remanufactured head....... i am thinking about going the remanufactured head route since it comes with a three year warranty, and by time the warrany is up it will be my play toy and i will drop a 350 in it..... but after i get my head back on there i will finish this up..

 

I have a K&N cone filter with about a 6inch piece of 3" aluminized tubing for mine. I am working on a heat shield and mouting bracket tomorrow.

 

i think i have a cracked head but i am afreand to get it tested. so as of right now nothing is broken :-D

 

how did u mape that bow for it?

and wat about those vacuum lines? where did those go?

 

How do u get those zip tie looking things undone on stock intake? i have been trying and i cant get them off.

 

the black ones on the rubber tube going to the tb? Get a flat head screwdriver, and stick in where you find the end of the clamp (in the open part on the side with the teeth) and twist the screwdriver, so it prys them apart that should get it loose

 

mine goes up towards the cowl, and im sure it getscold air, cus ive been getting better mpg since i put it there

Here is my true "Cold air intake" done w/ $33 cai setup from ebay and a dryer vent from home depot. Mine is a dd and inhales air through my ram air setup!

 

Will be doing this soon.

 

Looking to take a Lowes trip....any more pics of home made intakes?

 

I just built a cold air intake for my 97 XJ (5.25" lift, 32" mt/r's). I took some 14 gauge steel and bent an L shape to isolate the filter in the left front corner of the engine compartment. I then had an 11" piece of 3" muffler tubing bent to the angle I needed, had it swedged to fit in the stock rubber intake elbow. I then welded a 1/2" diameter tube to the muffler tubing for the crankcase ventilator tube. Around the top edge I zip-tied some split gas tubing and then installed a 5"x4.5" K&N filter that I purchased from Rusty's Offroad for about $35 bucks. Since I already had the steel, and the guy at the muffler shop didnt charge me for bending the pipe, so I only invested the cost of the filter into my CAI. One other thing I might do later on is insulate the steel tubing to prevent it from heating the air before the air enters the throttle body.

 

Mine kind of looks like XJ?2010's. Also did mine while I was in high school.










I used all Spectre parts for my intake. I used a 45 degree elbow attached to a 6 inch straight pipe which connected to my filter. I used a piece of aluminum to mount it to one of the stock airbox bolts. All in all I like it and it works out pretty well.
