CAN you? physically, yes. Is it a GOOD idea? not really.....you wouldnt really get any more gains from that, than you would a regular CAI. That and no-one likes someone with an "inter-fooler"

well, theoretically, you probably could..................... but it shouldnt be described as that..... and youre better off with a ram air kit for the intake.

it would greatly hinder flow.

intercoolers do not flow very well when you are sucking through them. So you would be losing a ton of power.

Believe me. When one of my turbos went bad, i didnt feel like taking all the IC piping off. So i just stuck a filter on the end of the pipe that connected to the turbo and drove around like that. The car felt like it was running on 2 cylinders. It was that bad.

Another reason not to, is because intercoolers are fvcking expensive and def not worth unless you want to pretend you have a turbo,

yes you can intercool an intake, but for the over $500 you will spend to gain 0 more hp over a CAI you will not be doing something worth while

haha people would come to your house to kill you if you put one on your car too.

if you want to really cool an intake get a dry ice system or whatever that one company makes and thats the end of it

I would think it would cause major low end loss as well, because it is sucking in the air through like 5 feet of pipeing.
