got into contact with Lincoln Motor Sports, and they don't make the "ice box" any more dose anybody have the dimensions for this item so i can make my own.
see i had that for a while and i noticed when my car was first warmed up it was a lot faster than after it had been running for a while. turns out it was the intake. stock it takes the air from the outside the engine bay...
it has better throttle response but most likely less hp once your engine bay gets hot.
i took out my air ride compressor, went to hope depot got a short pvc elbow and rubber pvc black connector and slapped a cone on the end of that - you also need the maf adapater late, my intake sits right where the air ride used to be. awesome freakin mod for cheap. my hot air intake i was actually losing power.
when the filter sits down behind the bumper in the fender man it really makes a difference. my setup is similar to drillers but he used some real like injen or aem style piping customed up. i dont have the patience or money, it does the exact same thing.
i switched back to a bigger filter like 9 inch that i had just in the engine bay no heatshield... wow night and day. its all about experimenting. i could care less what anyone says if its pvc or not it works. and you can barely tell its only about a foot long and mandaral bent sorta. when i put my hand on it after romping around when its pretty hot out, no soak whatsoever. laugh it up guys.
Or you can do this. We tried this a few years ago and again there wasnt enough interest but I still have ONE of these babies left if anyone want's it $100.00 plus s&h.
You Mean like this LOL... But I have an LMS MAF..
yea but mines white, did you paint it? i think mines a little bit wider with less of angle, ill snap a picture if i can find my digi. whatever works right!

wher'd you find black pvc?
! acha its not pvc at all! i could have done that but i bought a pvc with a rubber cuppler, i didnt think of that! wouldnt have needed to buy a new filter either, i still have a monster 9 inch filter just layin in my back seat. i doubt your way or my way are much differnent. as long as theres free'd up flow and the air is coming from outside of the engine bay is the main goal.
the first one is mine the others are some one elses that I have allways liked.
