ok ok, i'll prepare to be shot down coz mine is not \"home made\", but i'll post a pic up anyway, to give you some ideas.

i kinda feel stoopid for spending so much money on this now, after seeing boag's d.i.y. job in the flesh.
but yeah, it works well...... (my car is faster than boags :P :P , just ask him)

has anyone seen a homemade CAI for NA 6

Postby trader » Thu Jan 04, 2007 11:59 am

Here's my CAI. I bought a pod filter from ebay then off to Bunnings for 90mm plastic piping and collar. To reduce the pipe down to 70mm (the size of the hole in my firewall from Loch CAI) I went to Golo and bought a $15 thermos fask which I cut down. Painted it with bumpercoat. Cost about $60 all up. Roars a bit more than the loch stewart and obviously harder to clean filter.
