Twin scoop CAI
I made another intake. This new one really works 10 times better than the first CAI I made.
BTW: I ran a 16.04 @ 80.7, my best previous was 17.88 @ 88
I now have 2 scoops with 4" dryer ducting. then I reduced it to 3" to the Air box, the rest is stock and the temp has also dropped alot!
You should see the looks I get now with the twin scoops. One kid at the Grocery store almost ran his train of carts into some cars as he stared, as I went by. I was very funny.
I still need to work on it. I had so much air pressure, it pushed my connections apart.

After seeing your list of cars and the jobs you have, I think you owe us a dyno my friend 
. Just playing, but damn, a dyno would be nice if you're really getting as much air as you say you are (blowing hoses off and stuff)

Just let ya know I made another one last night.
I had to get rid of the 4 inch, as it was too low and pushes too much pressure and I couldn't keep it together, anything over 60 MPH popped it a part, where it was being reduced. 8 " of air flow was too much for the 3" piping.
I now have 3" piping coming from both scoops, for a total of 6 inchs of air flow, which goes into a 3" collector & piping right in the air box.

Well its appears I can't get to use the scanner till tommorrow.
But have no doubts, I will get them up and posted with the entire write up on how to do it and what not to do.
I have pitcures of 3 different intakes I made.
I went crazy last night, I even ate dinner under the car last night!
I am also going to race it tonight at the track and I will also have time slips to post for u all.
I like time slips better than dynos, because time slips really show if you made any real useable gains.
