So I was swapping out the stock intake for the S&B CAI that I bought from a member here, and I was intruiged by the opening to the fender well. I instantly thought about running some tubing to the foglight housing from that location. Initially, I was going to try to "Frank-Intake" the old intake tubing and run it down through the fender well, but then I decided that a run to Lowes was in order. I came home with some 4" & 3" dryer vent tubing and some roofing flanges, some GreatStuff expanding spray foam (love this stuff), a 4" PVC flange to anchor to the air box, a 4" to 4" pipe coupler, and a 4" to 3" metal cone for the fog light housing.

I wanted to completely seal the air box, run a 4" tube to the grill, and a 3" tube to the fog light.

*** First, I ran the 3" tubing through the roofing funnel flange (not pictured), and sat the flange in between the engine bay and fender well, and ran the tubing down the side of the fender well. Here it is coupled to the "funnel" (not sure what else to call it.?.?). I also sealed the gap between the air box and the side of the engine bay, and the rubber flange that I ran the tubing through. I allowed about 30 minutes for the foam to solidify.

*** The foam is pretty messy, but once it solidifies, you can peel back and trim any excess material that may be protruding. This is how it looked before I cleaned it up.

*** I then cut the back of the fog light housing off (dremel), and inserted the "funnel" into the housing. I used some silicone weather stripping caulk to seal the inner edges, ran the tube to the "funnel," and hit it all with some more GreatStuff foam. The foam is a great insulator, but it also expands and solidifies enough to hold everything in place.

wow nice mod i wouldnt go through water though.... why didnt u go with irrigation tubing its plastic and very flexible

*** I then cut a hole in the front of the box for the 4" flange. Here you can see the side of the box leading to the fender well is cleaned up some (except for the top), and given a quick coat of black.

*** I bolted the PVC flange to the inside of the box. Here you can also see the 3" tubing painted black, and you can get an idea of how the GreatStuff foam sets when it solidifies. Also notice the trimmed foam seal between the air box and side wall.

*** Had to cut a little bit out of the center of the flange to allow the 4" tubing to pass through cleanly.

*** Ran the tubing to the box, and used a 4" to 4" rubber coupler (not pictured) to secure and seal.

*** Inserted the tubing through the back of the funnel flange, hit the back with some more GreatStuff foam, and sealed the inside of the flange with silicone weather caulk.

i like it. i might do this one day. like bj said though, i'd watch out going through puddles

*** Lid back onto the top of the air box, and grill back into place (had to temporarily tie it down). Notice how clean the foam around the edges of the air box turned out.

*** Sprayed black, cut the back of the foglight cover off to allow for open slats (not pictured), and set the cover back into place (not pictured).

*** View from the front. Sprayed the tubing and flange black. Need to reseal the inner seal which separated a bit when I pushed the grill back into place.

Fired it up, and I couldn't believe how loud it was! Sealing the box obviously causes the intake to suck from both tubes, but I didn't expect it to make such a beautiful noise in the process. I'll try to post some video/audio clips in the near future....

Definitely won't be crossing any rivers any time soon. Don't know why I opted for the dryer vent tubing instead - maybe I just like the idea of metal. I was concerned about the durability of the tubing since it's fairly thin and seems like it would puncture easily, so I'll have to watch that closely....

wow great job man, i actually never posted pix of my finished product(just did the 4'' ram air like 3 weeks ago) but yours looks sweet. i did the same thing as you at first with the 6'' opening at the front but the grill didnt fit entirely right so i took it off and mad an air damn with sheet metal and it works very well. good job

 

[08crewcab]

fastest 07 titan n/a in mph and times and nitrous, fastest vvt cammed without a stall, Fastest crewcab full street trim before and after cams, Fastest titan with jba shorties, fastest titan with a stock airbox and a homemade 4 inch ram air, fastest titan with no cats, wow lol


WOW LOL is right, you ****y bastard! look at that sig its screaming "im a ****" i think you should post up some videos to back that sig up

Post some pics man! Thanks for the compliments. Any sense of nostalga seeing your old hardware on someone elses rig?

Nice work King!! Looks great man and I'll bet you IAT's stay colder than BJ's. Also about the puddles, just get a pre-filter to cover up the filter. I got mine for like $20 shipped and i think outerwears makes it.


As for BJ's signature, one word for you, GAY!! Toomnymods ran a 12.9 N/A with cams so he has that title and TitanSS has the title for fastest N/A w/out cams at a 13.6. I have the fastest title for 4x4 before headers and after headers(soon). YOU DO have the title for being the most self indulged though!!

At first I was like how many beers did this guy drink before starting this project, but when you had it all trimmed, painted, and back together it came out pretty nice. Only thing that could use some more work is the fog light portion, could be cleaned up some more I think

 

[mgsgold2]

Awesome job, I ran mine underneath through the fender and only have the one but its coming off. The new AEM with it i think it slowed my 1/4 down by 1/10


You can barely see it in front of the drivers tire i painted it all black

 

[bj2007]

i knew 08crewcab and deergayer wouldnt like my sig lol read it again i put fastest 07 n/a in times and nitrous.... 07!!!! u guys are ignorant. and yes i was the fastest all motor with a best of 13.63 @ 99.4 mph i didnt post because i didnt see a reason to since back then i was more worried about cams. and ill post a video soon dont worry 08crewcab

 

[goodkill365]

subscribed, i might try this later, looks great man:redblob"

i knew 08crewcab and deergayer wouldnt like my sig lol

I thought it was pretty funny :cheers:

LOL, ignorant huh.:crying: your SIG says a lot about who you are :bangit:

and i have not once seen a timeslip or video showing the times you claim.

I'll post a few more pics to fill in the gaps a little when I get the chance, as well as some audio/video clips. Performance wise it feels like a little something, but it straight up HOWLS. Not sure if it's partially due to the metal piping reverberating or what, but I dig it.

Checking them out now - thanks for the heads up.

Question: The S&B filter is oiled, and the one that's on there now is pretty dirty. I'd like to replace it, but was wondering if I could just get a similarly sized dry filter? Are there performance advantages or disadvantages to either?

I found a filter at autozone for $25 that looks exactly like the S&B. Spectre or something....

spectre is not worth the 25 bucks they dry quick and break apart easily. go get an aem or clean out the one you have now.
