Default New intake setup

Just got finished running my filter to the bumper. I'll get some pics up later, forgot to grab my camera. Didnt have to remove anything, just moved the PCM and Evap to get access to the bumper. Wasnt difficult at all, used INTENSE intake ducting. I do need a new filter and a screen to go over it, I'll be ordering that stuff tomorrow.

I'll try to get some of where the filter is when I can actually see what I'm pointing the camera at.

Kinda sloppy, but it works!

I'm sure you're gonna clean it up a bit right?

Looks like something i've seen before Make sure you do something about the holes underneath or the next time it rains you may not be a happy camper.

Looks good though...

Good point Todd has. Block off the hole on the bottom of the bumper where there is a space between the chin spoiler and bumper cover. Check my cardomain for an idea of what I'm talking about. I've been through some evil rain storms on the freeway in Chicago and no waterlock (yet), so its all gravy!

Yeah, I will clean it up some more. I need a new air filter, this one is pretty beat up. I will say zip ties are my friends

Two pics of it cleaned up a bit.

A piece of acrylic blocking off that big gap.

Are you going to relocate and secure the canister? If so fill me in on the procedure because I'd like to put mine back in.
