2 - 3" 90 deg carbon fiber intake pipes
1 - 3" 45 deg carbon fiber intake pipe
1 - 3" 90 deg stainless elbow
1 - 3" 45 deg silicone hose
2 - 3" silicone couplers
1 - 3.5" - 3" silicone reducer
7 - 3" hose clamps
1 - 3.5" hose clamp
1 - cone filter

Remove all the factory intake components along with the air dam that leads to the front grill area.

Remove the right and left kidney grills to gain access to the louvers. Remove the louvers since they will no longer be needed. Expand the hole to accommodate the 3" silicone pipe. I used a heat gun to slowly expand the opening.

Mock the intake to the car with the intake pipes ( 90 deg elbow, 45 deg elbow, 90 deg elbow, 45 deg silicone pipe, 90 deg stainless elbow, cone filter)

I routed the silicone 45deg tube under the hood latch and to the front grill area. You have to trim out just a little to get the tube to come through just to the right of the grill. Once you have the pipe through, attach the 90deg elbow to the pipe and to the cone filter.

Tighten everything up with the clamps and you should be done.


Hi,

Where are you getting these parts from? Ebay? Aliexpress?
