Easy cold air intake.

The next step is to join the two. I didn't want to cut up my original hose since I didn't know if this would work and I would like to be able to put it back stock if necessary but needed to do something about that accordion portion . The 4 1/2 tube will, with some coaxing, slide inside the factory hose.

Nice. So you're no longer using the air box correct? Did it change the exhaust note any?
Air box is gone as is the diesel battery tray. Turns out that it's there because the air box is supported by it. As for the sound, yes it seems louder. You can really hear the air from the intake. I would have to dyno it to know if the perceived increase in power (based on sound and seat of the pants) is real.
I picked the aluminum pipe up from www.burnsstainless.com . I paid too much for it but didn't want to wait. They left their price on it and it was half what I paid.
The wire re-routing was nothing more than seperating them from what was supporting them (metal AC line) and causing them to go across the opening I wanted the filter to go through and attaching them (tie wraps) to another one of the hoses in that area. No wires were disconnected. You can see them in the engine bay photo. They're positioned bottom center and are attached to the rubber AC hose. They were attached to the metal AC hose up by the K&N.
The hoses were the ones attached to the air box and intake hose. I believe one was a crankcase breather and the other is for the idle air solenoid. If you put the aluminum tube far enough into the factory hose, the idle air hose connection will be blocked.
Another thing to note is that the factory hose angles up and mine runs flat. I had to rotate the connection on the throttle bodies until the tube ran flat. Doing this moves the inlet air temperature sensor. To free up a little more wire, I bent the bracket attached to the wires (under the throttle body) with some needle nose pliers.

Tha ass dyno says performance improved but I never believe those. As for rain, I have driven it through two of what we here in Texas call "turd floaters" and havent seen any hint of problems. Possibly requiring more frequent oiling is all I can think might be necessary.INTREPER said:
I found the supplier of Burns Stainless for the 4 1/2" aluminum tubing.
They are Woolf Aircraft products at

Phone number:800-367-5475, I talked to Joe and he said they had a couple left.
Their tube has part number 450-065-450-090-6061 and is $58.00 but they have a $75.00 minimum order. I had to order two, so get together with somebody and get a couple.
