ok, so noone really makes an actual cold air intake for our cars right? except for 2k racing, and its $200!! so lets say i made a certain number of cold air intakes, and put them up for sale on here... would anyone buy? it would consist of the adapter to the maf, and 3 inch piping going down under the head light, and the air filter, and a coupler to hook the pipe on the maf adapter. oh and itd prolly be for sale for $125, let me know what you guys think. thanks
would you?

seems like a good idea, but i think most people here (myself included) rig up something of the sort for a lot less than 125. that said, i honestly don't think too many people would buy a cold air intake. you might have better luck making a hardpipe that replaces the accordian intake on the 7m.
yeah,i was thinking of doing the hard pipe to replace that too, but im not sure how much more that would cost me, and i was mainly doing this for the people who wouldnt like to go through the trouble, and then just buy a kit...but i figured somethin would be mentioned about the hardpipe
I remember one guy who made himself a cold air intake but then it was a pain to get to the filter.
no, ive already done it... and to get to the filter you would get under the front bumber and just take out a little plastic peice with like 5 or 8 screws in it, and then bam. there it is. the hardest part is gettin the right length of the pipe and cuttin and bending it
Why didn't you just use some flexible alluminum piping. I have also thought about taking the dremel to that oval hole.
When you say flexible aluminum piping only two things come to my mind: Mylar dryer duct (too many corrigations, adds a ton of turbulence), and the twist angle HVAC piping (which has too many flat edges and is still not smooth enough, again adds turbulence).
Are you thinking of something else?
