K&N Intake
When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet. When toast is dropped, it always lands butter-side-down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the cat's feet, butter facing up. The two will hover, spinning, inches above the ground. With a giant buttered-toast/cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.

If you have an auto there is a tear shaped grommet right in front of the driver seat and that is where I ran mine.

I ran mine through a huge wire bundle by the steering shaft. Stuck a coat hanger through from the engine bay and used that to pull the wire back through. Just make sure you put some grease on it - makes it much easier to pull through.

So you must Drill through the firewall from the inside of the car?? Its not a clear picture. What size drill bit did you use? Where exactly did you drill?

Ok get under the hood of your car. Now look at the firewall directly in front of the drivers seat. You should see a black cap in the shape of a tear. This cap pops off. Poke a hole in it and in the insulation behind it. Run your wire through and your set!
