Parts list
1)We used CAT for the tubing which can be bought for $4.75 per foot though http://www.aircraftspruce.com The advantage of this is that it is highly flexible and does not lose it's 3" shape at all, no kinks. It is also good for temperatures of -60 to 300 degrees.
2)Three inch plumbing tubing from the local hardware store.
3)Crazy Glue now makes a bounding agent for plastics and some other types of metal for high temps that can be found at the local hardware store.
4)Aluminum foil tape (optional)
5)One broken passenger side fog lamp.
6)I’m not sure what this part is called but it has a 3" hole on one side for putting the hose into and the other side is a square. The part we used was made of aluminum and was found in a local hardware store. I’ll call this part aluminum ducting.
7)Dremel or coping saw and file.
8)Black spray paint
9)Two 3" clamp
Instructions
1) Remove your airbox and cut a 3" hole in the intake side where the old intake pipe was.
2) Insert the 3" pipe into the hole where the old intake pipe was and secure it with adhesive.
3) Allow for the adhesive to dry
4) Once the adhesive is dry spray paint the whole unit black to give back the stock appearance.
5) Secure the airbox into it’s original location.
6) Remove all of the glass from the fog light until you just have the shell.
7) Cut the backside out of the fog light but leave in it the mounting holes so once you are done you can remount the fog light into it’s original location.
8) Mold the aluminum ducting to fit into the back of the fog light and secure it with either the adhesive from before or you can use the aluminum foil tape. I did both.
9) Spray paint the intake to look as if you do not have a fog light and that your to lazy to have it replaced.
10) Secure the fog light back into place. The best way to do this is to remove the plastic from under the car and put the fog light back for behind the bumper.
11) Connect your CAT tubing onto both ends and secure with the 3" clamps.
12) Secure the plastic back under the car
One thing to remember in doing this upgrade is that your air filter is going to need to be cleaned now more often then before because bugs and leaves are more prone to go into the airbox. The way I clean my K&N filter is with the garden hose and a good water nozzle to loosen all the sediment.
If there is anything that I overlooked please let me know.
