Would people be willing to relocate their battery for a CAI? How would you do the 2.75" to 3" and the 3" to 3.25" transitions? Would an exhaust tubing expander work? I haven't welded anything since high school, let alone welded thin wall pipe. If you have the tools and the know how, I would happily loan you the intake for a week or two. If you did decide to sell them, a small percentage would be appreciated. It would be nice to recoup some of the $400ish that I've spent on making this puppy. I've gotta post some pics of the tubing cutting jig that I made. It worked incredibly well. BTW, I'm finally doing my struts and rear disc conversion this weekend. How long ago did I buy those parts from you? LOL! Later, Ben Ben ---'96 Contour GL * Zetec ATX * Tan on Black steelies--- +++JRSC M62 Under Construction+++ My big-a$$ mod list.

I would be fun to try for sure. 06 GMC Sierra 2500HD Dmax/ally 06 Pontiac G6 GT 05 CRF250R FOR SALE 06 KX65 with riding gear $2700 obo

I'm sure that there are at least a couple of hardcore Zetecer's around that would want one. I'll hang on to my CTA intake so I can still drive my car.

Also, not so many bends would be beneficial. How would you move the fusebox under the battery? There isn't enough length in the stock wiring harness to have it sit next to the transmission? I guess that if you could do that, you would only need three bends. A 90 at the Throttle Body, one 45 to angle it towards the front corner, and a 90 to angle it down to the air filter. I really like how mine follows the stock intakes path. It doesn't really obstruct anything. Just thinking out loud...

The mandrel bends will really help with smooth flow. Ben I'll look through my pile of mandrel bends and see what I have laying around. I know I have few straight lengths,but I'm not sure on diameters. I might have some 3in around but most is 2.5 Whatever we can discuss it more in detail. I need to make a cia for my tour anyways. 06 GMC Sierra 2500HD Dmax/ally 06 Pontiac G6 GT 05 CRF250R FOR SALE 06 KX65 with riding gear $2700 obo

I've got about 1.5 feet of 3" stainless left if that would help. BTW, I thought that you only had V6's? Did you get a Zetec 'tour to play with? Originally posted by LoCoZ: I like .....just seems like a lot of silicon.....have to see it up close next month at the track. There's no such thing as too much silicone ..cough..Pam Anderson..cough.. This upcoming meet is gonna be sweet. (no rhyme intended) BTW, It will probably Sunday-ish before I get some underside photos taken. I've gotta work Saturday. OT for me!!!
