Stock Intake Mod

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see anything hanging loose in the pics.

I cut my intake tube back to where it's a larger diameter and put a velocity stack on it...

The picture with his MAF...it just looks like it's hanging there. I don't see where it's secured??

But how do you like your intake like that, tooter? I don't know if I would want to commit to actually cutting it, haha. Good sound? I assume you're running a dorp-in filter with that setup? Where did you get the velo stack? (I know, too many questions!)

I just did it for the fun of it.

It can always be glued back together again... although I can't imagine why I'd ever want to.

The throat of the velocity stack is larger in diameter than the stock opening that I cut off so the air box does get a little more air easier. I do like that it still points in the right direction, away from the radiator heat and towards the relatively cooler air of the fenderwell. Hey, I might even add some tubing and extend it to the opening in the well.

There is no difference in the sound, and yes it's just the stock filter. The velocity stack came from a flea market sometime in the 1980's that I got for $1. Never had a use for it until now.
