Talking DIY snorkel for CAI systems

Since the filter is placed in a closed box under the headlight it hasen't got the advantage of direct air while driving, so i grabbed the 90 degree pipe what you can find under your OEM airbox lid, and i created my own "Direct Front Air Duct System" haha well, just look at the pics!


The 90-degree pipe that you can find under the OEM airbox lid


Make a hole the same size as the 90 degree bend, and shove it in.


Hmm fits perfect!


I connected a rod between the plastic wall and the air-duct so it remains in place while driving high-speeds.


As you can see, i made also a rainguard that protect my filter from water falling down on it from above.
The fitler is 100% dry and clean after almost a year of driving ( Also a few times HEAVY rain! )

I only placed the air duct a bit too low so i need to recut the plastic and place the air duct 1 inch higher..

What do you guys think?

Ingenuity at its finest! It just looks like you will need to clean that filter out a lot more however.
