"cold air intake" piping size

I'm looking at doing similar but taking them out through the front UCA cam bolt Windows on both sides, a lot more work but I don't want to cut any bodywork, I'm looking at putting filters on both ends out in the fender wells, I don't drive my car in the rain so figure it should be ok

and....done
(well almost, I still need to buy some vacuum hose to run around the cut edge, so that it doesn't damage the pipe as the engine rocks, but for now, there is some electrical tape on there)
it took a LOT more cutting to get the bottom of the holes to nicely follow the tubes, but 2 dozen cut of wheels on the dremel took car of that
what you cant tell from the pictures are the two 90 degree silicone couplers hidden inside the fender
these are pointed forward and slightly up to keep the road debris, kicked up by the wheels from being sucked into the engine
they may or may not also work as a little bit of a ram air intake
How has this stood the test of time? I'm curious. Thanks

Excellent setup for a street Machine! Good chance of pressurized ram air vs. Cowl .
I believe the air coming over the Cowl is at negative pressure because it's speeding up to get over the windshield.(Bernoulli effect). It would be a good test to run a tube up there with a gauge to measure the air pressure.

Wow, it been a while since I saw this post, but I did come up with my own solution. Motor loves the cool air, and it definitely increased performance over my old air filter.
If I open the driver's vent under dash, my grandsons crack up because of the added intake noise coming through the cowl. They are always telling me, "punch it!" Papa.

Thanks @famous bob
You can see in post 25 how I ended running mine
I like the idea of quick connects, I'm just running flexible couplers, if I need to get to the air filter, I just undo the driver side hose clamp, and slide that side pipe out
That will allow the passenger side to move out, and the housing to move up and out of the way

I drilled 1/8" hles and made aluminum t handle slip pins for fast removal, much faste and easier than screwing w/ clamps. Pull the pin, slide hose off. A little tedious re installing the pins tho.

That's odd, it's only been 5 years
Try the 728 instead

I thought I was the only one trying to squeeze every tiny percentage of a horsepower I could ever get out of anything! No offense intended, that's a compliment where I come from!
