Finally fixed my exhaust leak so a little more quiet but my carbs scream!
I have seen the expensive airbox for sale around $900 but has anyone found any other solution? I am thinking of using the Turbo Hats and running the input tube bellow the engine tin to a cone filter. Or are there any type of plastic molded airboxes out there that I can graft the weber bottom plate to? Running the open K&N filter housings. Ideas? |

As I stare at this I am seeing another possible modification for Phase 2 after I get the stock boxes installed....and i want to put my rain tray on at some point.
The stock Honda boxes with tops won't clear the rain tray....but the bottom housings with a custom flat top WILL allow a rain tray. My thought is make a top out of flat Lexan that holds down with a wing nut and seals the air filter...top of the KN Porsche filter lines up perfect and the velocity stacks clear. Cut a 3.5" hole in the side of the housing base on the outside. Plumb a 3.5" "cold air" pipe down through the existing heater tube holes in the tin. If you have heat maybe to rear wheel well? These modified housing would use air filters so there isn't a need to have a cone filter in the setup...just a place to pull in air. |

If you're not running heat how about usin the existing heater tube holes to run the "cold air" intake pipe out in front of the engine, under the car (next to the air deflectors?) for a cold air/ram air type set up |
