strotter Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I was putting around Pick'nPull, and I noticed this *huge* rubber intake fitting on a mid-eighties Volvo sedan. Went from the filter assembly to what I took to be a mass-air sensor, or some other f.i. goody. Took a couple home, sure enough, they're about 5 1/4" across the snout. Spent the next couple days adapting it and explaining to my woman what a "cold air intake" was, and why it's a Good Thing. She wasn't especially interested. However, I thought you-all might be. It's not perfect - the inlet's only 2 1/2" across. I managed to cut and tuck and finally fit a 3" inlet (cat-food can diameter, don't ask me how I know), which should feed my mild 327 just fine. I'm mostly interested in the low-profile nature of it. However, at some point in the future I'm going to try to "double" it for a dual 3" inlet. Not really necessary, but much sexier. Also, way way cheaper than the K&N intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
