Well I'm personally more of a fan of functionality over attractiveness so here's some basic mod ideas for your build (or entertainment)
The Bucket Intake:
What started out as a five gallon bucket is now your performance cold air intake:
What you will need:
-10 ft of 3" od dryer or ac vent ducting
-A 5 gallon bucket (preferably used in a painting project like mine so its 4 colors)
-A cone style filter
-Self tapping roofing screws with the rubber grommet washer thing to prevent leaks
-Zipties (needed in any of my projects)
-3" intake clamps
How mine looks and works:
First I moved my windshield washer fluid reservoir to behind the fuse bock because that's always a great idea. Next I removed the insulation surrounding the plastic inner fender and cut a 3 inch hole where I could route the ducting without touching the wheel. Then I pulled the ducting through to the grill and into the hole in the fender, trimming it so there was no extra material, making sure to secure it with zipties, keeping it away from the wheel.
Next I took my bucket and cut it to size so it fit snugly between ac compressor and the coolant reservoir. I then took the bucket lid and cut a hole so the cone filter fit perfectly and didn't leak through any seams.
Then it was just routing the rest of the intake piping into the turbo hat I had lying around.
The intake I had was a 7.3 psd intake I cut up and modified to use on my truck, best part of it was the 14" K&N cone filter that came with it (I got this from a trade I would never buy these things new they are way too overpriced)
Here's what this intake looked like:
Overall this intake made a dramatic affect on performance with intake temps being over 30* colder than what I would use to see, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who doesnt lift up there hood in front of other people.
Here's also my custom filter setup with E-Pump cost about $150 from pump to filter head and filters but I can change these every 50,000 miles and be fine (but I still change them more often)
