So I'm about to build a cowl intake and I dont want to use the factory airbox. I want to get a dual battery setup and put it in that spot. I want to build it similar to the THOR one but I dont want pipes crossing the valve cover and going all around the engine bay. I want to put it into the driver side cowl. If I use a holesaw and make a hole in the cowl, how deep does it go before it hits the firewall? I want to put a cone filter inside there to clean up the look. I have slight OCD when it comes to stuff like this so I want a clean look without a inline air filter. That's the same reason I just re-wired my entire jeep just so it looks nicer. Anways has anybody done a similar setup and is there enough space for a cone filter?

 

 

Drivers side wont work

 

With a cone filter atleast. This was my set up with basic u bends, and a few couplers and cone filter

 

When I changed out the wiper motor I was amazed at the amount of room in there.
If I ever get rid of the windshield I thought about utilizing that space for the Hi Lift.

 

Nice silicone hoses and elbows! Which vendor did you purchase those from?

 

It was a long time ago but everything was bought off ebay. The coupler from the throttle body was 2.5 to 3 inch 90 degree bend. The other was 3 inch 45 degree bend if I remember correctly.

 

Do you remember the length of pipe you used?

 

Oh and also, how did you mount the pipe/filter inside the cowl so it doesnt move around freely?

 

Ok guys I have to ask. Is it worth doing this mod? I was considering buying AEM. but this looks interesting. Any pros/cons?

 

Seems to me like that air filter would always get pretty wet when it rains....risking sucking in moisture/water.

 

I've sprayed a good amount of water into my engine over the years with no obvious issues other than clean valves, ...and that one time when I destroyed a TPS.
