I think Puddydad already made the best homemade intake possible.

well take into consideration what intakes work and the pros and cons. K&N ... short, smooth, makes power, has a heat shield, good throttle response. Mugen, good power at high rpm, J's/PWJDM good power in lower to midrange due to design of air chamber but lacks power at upper rpm due to air turbulence in air chamber especially with increased speed of vehicle. So if you can incorporate all of that into an intake you might be the next group buy intake. Of course any of this effort is only good for minimal amounts of horsepower however, being able to

IMO, a snorkel like effect into an airbox similar to that of OEM but slightly smaller, move the filter closer to the ram effect, and taper the chamber inside the box as it heads towards the throttle body but not too much and nothing that will disrupt flow. So maybe a 5 expand to 6 or 7 inch then back to 3 as it goes to throttle body. Insulate entire box but try not to make it too heavy, try to use fiberglass/carbon fiber to make the intake so its light weight and helps deal with heat.

Or make something entirely different that we have no idea whether or not it may at all where the intake is on the opposite side of the engine bay dissimilar to that of any other company except tracy sports' box for their ITBs.

Patent pending on both of these!!! haha =P

you could cut off the third chamber, less volume. make it some how reflect heat, i drove 30 minutes and i lift up mu hood and damn my box cover was really hot on the inside and out.

so i like the idea about a multi chamber box, what about we do a duct to the front bumper the box, box would be were the stock box is now, except larger in volume.

then the box is split into 2 chamber, the very first entry into the box is the filter.. then that dumps air into the boxs first chamber, which ends in the entry to the second box.

use a velocity stack going from the end of the second box to the intake pipe/tb..

thinking maybe the filter would be better in the middle of the box, what do you guys think...
