DON'T DO THIS

i attemped to put two short air intakes together to make a coldair. it would of worked but the only place i could run it is going right under the batt. and in doing so it rubbed on the starter [ i think ] and sparks started to fly. i posted this finding in case someone else trys to atempt this..DON'T DO IT......in just in case someone thinks i could just put a rubber band around it it would work. i will just rub down and short out your hole electrical system. lucky for me i ripped it right out and my radio just cut out for a sec. i guess i shouldn't be so cheap and just buy a coldair.

the cost of 2 sri's is about the same as one cai. why not just get the cai instead of trying to destroy your car?
