I was looking at this and i think i found a filter that will work. is it essential to put a breather filter on that 1" hose? would i be fine getting buy without a filter for that? whats the purpose of that lower hose?

has anyone else done this? sorry. i didnt register on vortex yet and im a litte on the drunk side. so let me know what you guys think about this setup vs the drilling holes into your fender liner setup.

I had the intake box mod; just made some extra noise. Decided I wanted more noise so I run a cone filter behind a heat shield with the holes in the fender. I plan on making more fender holes. Run heater hose with a slit in it on top of your heat shield and it'll look professional. Skip out and it'll look ghetto.

My car makes that "pshhh" sound.

 

mkay. well the problem is that i live in iowa and i read through all 50,xxx pages on that one thread about the DIY intake mod.

see, thats a problem in here iowa with the snow/slush/rain/gunk/goo/globby stuff. it just wont work for me to have water be anywhere close to my intake setup. so i was gonna try something like this. i have a cone filter for it. just need to know if i need the other bottom hose filter.

 

the filter on the "lower" hose is for your sap..... if you really are dead set on doiung the cone filter mod, use a filter on it...... i had that for a while, and all it really does is make your dv louder.... i went back to my swiss box and a k&n

 

kk, and autozone/orielleys should carry something like that? and the site says $20 for such a small filter?!

will i be in trouble if i leave it with no filter on it?

 

i know it is loud.... and i am pretty sure you sill toss a code

 

toss a code with what? the intake? the sap filter? neither of them toss a code

 

thats a decent enough write up that you found about the intake mod. thats preatty much what I did, mines cleaner though

 

We get gobbolty gook here too, and lots of it. No problems so far.
I'd run a filter on that line definitely.

 

The line is the intake for the secondary air injection pump which pumps air dirrectly into your engine at startup, so you NEED a filter for that. If your gonna run a cone filter, dont just slap it on the maf and think that your done, get a 180* pipe and do it like its supposed to be done. I wouldnt do any of these mods because there is no point to them unless your going BT. if you want the wooshh sound then just get a forge splitter.
