A cold air intake idea

[cleong]

Thought crossed my mind - the stock airbox has its merits for everyday driving, being quiet and all. It sucks air from behind the front headlamp.

If you wanted to go out at night for some spirited driving, or at the track on the weekends, it still sucks air from the same place.

I am thinking of rigging up a cold air intake to the blanking plate for the front foglamp. I wouldn't use it all the time, just when I am feeling a bit more frisky than normal. I am told a CAI drags in quite a lot more garbage than normal as well, so I won't keep it open all the time.

I would remove the stock airbox's snorkel and just plumb the CAI into the airbox itself. Or return everything to stock and just cap the foglamp cover back.

Could be fun for a DIY project, given I've removed the bumper before.
