ok im trying to decide between making my own or buying the kit from spectrum i cant decide are there any advantages or dissadvanteges to either which one is louder is my main concern

 

Homebrew. Way cheaper and they'll function as long as you do it correctly. Do a search for cowl snorkel and you'll find a bunch of info. Here's good place to look.

why would you do a cowl snorkel and run the stock crappy airbox? makes no sense. THOR makes a decent unit and bypasses the crappy airbox unlike alot of people here do

 

That's exactly why I'm going to get the THOR kit.

 

its pricey but a good quality in my opinion. the owners, Mike and Tim and good people to

 

still cheaper than a k&n kit though!! If the filter is still in the engine compartment....i don't care how many walls you put around it...its still not a true cold air intake.

 

Purpose of a snorkel is to raise the intake point. If you want a CAI, buy a honda

 

Make a link for the Thor airbox?

 

A snorkel is a cold air intake, especially the thor kit. Putting the filter in the cowl does make it a snorkel too...but a cold air intake none the less.

lol honda is junk, I have a 300zx which came from the factory with a cai

currently running the thor kit and i love it, keeps my engine alot cooler and i can def feel a difference in horse when rly needing to accelerate quick. it is very loud though when at high rpm's here is a pic installed

 

Looks good! Just get some sound dampening material from a radio shop and slap it in the cowl. I think that stuff has a sticky back cuz it goes in door panels and whatnot

 

If I buy this I gots to move my washer bottle.

 

been thinking about this but one thing that i was wondering about is rain water. how do you keep the filter from sogging up every time it rains. my buddy has a little black plastic cover over is cowl on his tj and thinking something like this might do the trick.

 

x2 what about rain. And this vs. A snorkel ?
