DIY high-flow intake for $43.00

Here’s an option for a high flow (well, at least higher flow) intake that doesn’t cost too much money. It’s simple to complete. It basically consists of drilling large holes in the factory air-box and putting a high flow filter in place of the factory filter.

Tools needed:
- K&N Filter number: 33-2360, $43
-10mm socket, wrench, and long extension
-Hole saw: I used 2 inch and 1 inch
-Drill
-Round file
-Small flat head screwdriver


Steps:
1.Remove the top of the factory air-box by disconnecting the MAF and loosening the intake hose clamp. Pull out the old filter and discard.

2.Remove the two 10mm bolts holding the lower section of the air-box. The MAF wire bundle is also connected to the lower section. Disconnecting it is easy with a small flat head screwdriver.

3.Remove factory silencer tube and drill holes as you see fit in the lower section ONLY. The more holes and the larger they are mean the higher flow you’ll achieve.

4.File the holes smooth.

5.Reinstall everything with the new filter.












By opening up the factory air-box the air isn’t forced to flow through the constrictive factory silencer tube. In addition the higher flow filter decreases resistance. You can feel the result and it sounds excellent with a nice low growl. Watch Chino’s DIY intake video as it sounds identical. Also, there’s no chance of a CEL as the factory MAF mount is retained. For $43 it’s a descent intake, but probably not as good as Chino's is going to be.

Almost forgot; for those wanting to retain that factory look this is perfect because the holes are totally out of sight.
