Question Why buy a CAI, when you can build 1

This may be completely retarted, but I think it might work, at least in theory. Instead of spending $250+ dollars on a CAI, why not modify the airbox as follows...

This would be for a 2004 Civic Si. I replaced the stock air filter with the K&N filter. Next, drill a hole in the side (right) of the airbox and run a small (1.5"-2") flexible line with a breather filter at the end. Then disconnect the vent hose from the valve cover. Viola, CAI...

Re: Why buy a CAI, when you can build 1

ok it may sound cool and all but that 250 youd spend on a CAI was for a few years of testing and quality to come out with something that will pull more HP and TQ and help the engine breathe better.
