When I made my similar fender well intake setup. I actually moved my AIT sensor down to where the hole in the fender well was and tapped into the PVC there for the sensor intake readings.
Here is a picture of mine when I did have it in there. I cut through the flashing to get to the tap I created and Gorilla glued a rubber gromet into the PVC so I could remove the sensor without issue when necessary.

did you just extend the wires for your AIT? or did you buy an extesion wire for it? I guess I'm asking can I just splice my AIT wires to extend them for a FWI?Originally Posted by GeddyLee

Is there any way to do this with the 4" without removing/cutting the brace in the fender? If not, whatd you use to cut it? I've had a hell of a time trying to get the back bolt to take it out and just cant seem to get anything that fits back there

on my setup , i did not cut the inner fender brace cause i used a conical air filter which is about 4 inches high part number 8162 from Spectre , they sell it at Autozone and it fits just perfect . instead of the 4 inch tubing i used 3 inch . i know that 4 inch is bigger and has a better flow , but a 3 inch is smaller and consecuently faster air flow , my FWI intake roars very fukng loud

Thanks for the post! Only problem is i checked this about 5 minutes too late, lol. Just got it all fitted in and finished! So im not sure how all you people with 9" cones have it fitted in as you did, but from your pictures i could not get mine in anything like yours! Luckily with a lot of cussing and trying to make everything fit in, Ive completed it, though it appears different from the pictures and i had to use the other half of the 90* angle down in the fender well.
For a note to those who dont want to cut the brace, you dont have to. I just unscrewed the one inside bolt(the one closer to the engine, not the fender one) and pretty much just bent/forced it it out towards the fender. As another note, i tried removing it and im not sure if there is an easier way, but that back bolt was a b**** to get to. Then after i finally managed to get it off, i noticed the little triangular clip thing and couldnt figure how to remove that so gave up on that idea. I'm sure it's easy to remove just didnt feel like searching.
Now that i've typed a essay here.... Good write up streetwolf, and good luck to those who try this in the future. Trying to use a smaller cone might be easier, though it doesnt look as bad ass, might save your breath on some cursing

Nicely done!! Where did you get those 3" pipes with the angles from?on my setup , i did not cut the inner fender brace cause i used a conical air filter which is about 4 inches high part number 8162 from Spectre , they sell it at Autozone and it fits just perfect . instead of the 4 inch tubing i used 3 inch . i know that 4 inch is bigger and has a better flow , but a 3 inch is smaller and consecuently faster air flow , my FWI intake roars very fukng loud

the pipes and bends are from Autozone ... the pipe is aluminum and the bends are plastic

This is a totally nice setup you have here. I have a question. I cannot do a similar setup on my 98 gtp cause it seems the body have a weird part right in the way, this is a part of the frame, directly... So I would have to put the filter in front of that piece, which brings us just behind and a bit under the left headlights.on my setup , i did not cut the inner fender brace cause i used a conical air filter which is about 4 inches high part number 8162 from Spectre , they sell it at Autozone and it fits just perfect . instead of the 4 inch tubing i used 3 inch . i know that 4 inch is bigger and has a better flow , but a 3 inch is smaller and consecuently faster air flow , my FWI intake roars very fukng loud
I can take pictures to explain what I mean, but to my point of view, that setup would have a huge amount of water on rainy days. I refer to the pictures on the first page, the red filter is where I could put it...
Is there a workaround for this? After checking some ppl FWI pages, the only idea that I have is to put 3/4 of the filter in the engine and the last 1/4 in the fender well. I really can't get more in it because of that weird frame piece...
For now, I have a ram air intake :|
Oh, and by the way, what a weid sound it gives with the supercharge!!! It sounds like a sky rocket. That's funny, but not really a nice sound!
Thanks for any input!

I'm sorry dude but i don't understand your way of thinking.
"I really can't get more in it because of that weird frame piece..."
It's called the fender brace if you want the actual name and 1.) you can unbolt the bottom part very easily and bend it back or 2.) cut the thing off with a dremel. It's not like you need it any ways if you get hit in the fender your hosed anyways!
The only way you would get a huge amount of water in there on rainy days is if your one of those people that drive though flooded streets to get where you need to go.
And as for the weird sounds. You might need your head examined. Superchargers with the K&N filter on the end sound mighty mean!!!I mean who doesn't like their car to whine when they get on it when they have a supercharger ?
Just my $0.02

you could cut the fender brace or get another filter like the one i bought in the pics. i dont have problems with water getting in unless you drive through 2 feet of water

Hi, the idea of cutting the piece seems good. I tought it was some sort of important part of the frame! Just to be sure, I include a pic where I spot the place where the metal piece sits. It is exactly where the filter is.
If I can remove this piece, I am sure the filter won't get any water at all.
Does everyone has that metal piece by the way?
