Phone won't load pics these days.
On my phone App it's page 5 of my build thread. I painted it since.
A spectre air filter fits perfect into a paint can and an empty paint can is a few dollars at home depot.
The thin wall sewer pipe has actual 45° bends.
Ill try to load some pics when i get home.

That's actually the same idea I was trying to work out just never got all the details hammered out, empty paint can its so simple that's probably why I never thought of it lol

Still runs great. Used to have heat soak (don't know if this fixed it).
I average 15mpg (city/highway)
Never really get to wheel to test it's limits.
Its just something i did for fun.

Yea they are in the way, when i made those bars I didn't have all the patience in the world so I threw it together simple as possible...but I am going to be mounting fog lights into the bumper to help visibility. I also don't drive much at night so it doesn't bug me much

The cold air intake mod, what did you do to curb water intrusion? I have hit some creeks where the water rushes over the hood for a brief moment but enough that with that mod it may suck water. and stall you out at a moment you dont want to stall.....

Well nothing will keep water from getting sucked in if it is completely submerged, that hat cowl intakes and snorkels are for.
However, these are water resistant and can repel splashes and of water:

No new homebrews lately? Nobody? I wish I had something better than, if you take a cheap window sun shield (the shiny kind you put up when you park it) and cut it into strips you can use it as heat wrap on your intake to keep your intake air cooler, it works and is alot cheaper than heat wrap
