Maybe u should of gotten a real Cold air intake...although cold air intake really sucks in warm air....but still...it should be cooler then u're fake cold air intake..i mean u're V2..

sorry..i guess what im trying to say is that V2's are known to be a short ram..not a cold air intake......

Yea, basically you can't. BUT you CAN get a friend to blow your filter while you're driving. The harder he blows the faster you go!

Put the pipe upsidedown and cut a hole in your hood for the filter to stick out.

Seriously, besides injecting nitrous into your intake there's nothing you really can do.

there is a little peice of the front bumper that you remove to put on oem style fogs on. i think that if you open it up it might be able to get a better air flow to your cai. the peice is a weird shape and its black.
i dont know how i can explain it, but it is made to look like an air duct so just cut it out. i think its stupid when someone has already made a retarded joke about the thread and then like 15 other people say the same exact thing. see! there is a way to get more air to the filter. i mean you could even fabricate some sort of ram air right there..
i mean no one else is doing it go for it.
this is what i did but now i have the oem fogs and a injen sri.

Thanks for the jokes, but i did find a way to get colder air to the intake. all i did was fabricate a little scoop that comes up from where a cai. filter would be and installed a heat shield that i had made for another car cut a hole in the bottom and put a tube to the bottom of the heat shield. those jokes really did help me when i was make it thanks everyone

there is a system, cro2, that has a "insert" that goes inside intake pipe. it flows co2 through a tube into a "chamber" that cools intake air to a low low temp.
do a search....

Well first of all... its an aluminum pipe. Thats problem #1.
Solution.
$14.99 for 15 ft. of thermal tape. Wrap it up


Problem #2: its sucking air from behind the radiator. The coolant running through that is 205 degrees, so figure the air coming through it isn't all that much cooler. Thats the **** you're sucking in.
Solution, get rid of the intake, get an Injen that sucks air in from behind the bumper under the headlight. The alternative is to build something that covers the filter and is piped down to behind the bumper under the headlight. Do whatever but you wont get anywhere leaving the filter where it is.

No, I had a question, but it wasn't really legit, so I wanted to delete the post, but it wouldn't let me.

Notice, it says, "delete this post , not the thread.
