Picked up a tube and a mounting plate
Air Intake Air Ducting Components for 3-Inch Inlet Tubing
Tube:
8741 - Spectre , Air Duct Hose
Mount:
8148 - Spectre , Air Duct Mounting Plate

I can really just let the pictures do the rest of the talking:

I did have to trim the mounting plate a bit to make it fit on the box and used a 3" hole saw to make a clean cut

When a VelossaTech Bigmouth is just too mainstream! lol

Kudo's on trying something new. turned out pretty good for a DIY project

I opened this expecting to see some hack job but this isn't that bad!

We had a couple of new air boxes that were going to be scrapped that I saved. Might have to try this myself.

Yes this was $36, while VT BM are $150+
This is also a addition to having the stock inlets

.... Thanks! no hacking the only mod was a single 3" hole and done right with a hole saw

Give it a shot and post up results. I am sure this can be done 10 different ways

Interesting... I used to work at Pep Boys and have the Spectre Mock Up kit.

I was talking to a former Fiesta ST owner that had a large intake pointing out of his driver's side headlight housing.

He was self tuning and the car picked up 2 mph in the 1/4 mile. He was running [email protected] on street tires, no seats, self-tuned, down pipe and aforementioned intake.

There was some testing on Honda-Tech about a similar ram air system and it picked up 14 hp when tuned for it

Question -

Don't the stock AGS get in the way? I see that you have removed yours for the upgraded inter-cooler.

 

[DookieShoes]

Nice work with some basic off the shelf parts. I'd be interested to see before and after data via a log or two.

sweet..........nothing like a good diy project!!!

Thank guys, I have been thinking this up for a while and just finally ran into the right product to get the job done, I was thinking of other ways of doing it but nothing was "proper" or as "clean" as this. Not for everyone but for people that don't want to spend a ton of money and to a fun project that helps bring fresh cool air this is a good mod.

I 100% don't agree with anyone that removes their air box lid (aka hot air intake), this was my solution to get a few guy in my group to put the lid back on and supply air another better way.

I took it as a complement

I have a Levels FMIC and yes I would assume the factory mess of plastic behind the front bumper would get it the way of this mod but cant say for sure

How easy is it to remove the grill like I see in a couple of your pics? Is it just held on by clips?

yes just pull starting in the middle top and work from side to side and down.

it is pretty simple to remove

This would be a helpful tool to have

If there is a provision made for the factory inlet pipe, is there a gap big enough for your 2nd hose to fit through? Just looking at the car from the outside I can see the AGS sort of getting in the way but maybe not.

I was just wondering since you've had the car apart and I haven't.

I am pretty positive it gets in the way but not 100%. I removed all the plastic behind the bumper so I have a lot of room to play. Not even saying this is the only route. could go to the fender or lower pan?

almost looks factory! :wink: great job!

Right, I was just wondering about the area you used.

When I take the car apart a bit more, I will look into it.

Any worries with driving through heavy rain with this set up?
