Thread: Open cone question

After looking at the photo again, I have this to say: you may want to move your coolant bottle (replace will... 99+ I think) - that's the reason this setup looks funky. Once that's gone, the setup will make much more sense.

What you have now is better than stock. To improve upon your design, move the coolant bottle, buy a 9" cone intake, and point it kinda at your headlight (22.5* bend). OR slap it right on the throttle body (still move the coolant bottle - air comes in from behind the headlight).

Actually, that's the throttle body right on top of the crossover pipe. The air's going to be heated up here no matter what.

Cold air intakes are the best. This is a hot air intake.lol

Here's a link to some empirical evidence.
