cold air box

[madcheba]

i see this cold air box on ebay which they sell made out of this thin aluminum. it covers your open air filter. wouldnt it then just act like your oringinal airbox. heres the link

is this legit or just a waste of money???

you can make your own...the idea is to keep most of the hot air of the engine away and make it draw in cool air from the side. you still have the surface area of an open element filter vs. the flat drop ins

This one should cost you less than $20.

I make the cold air boxes that sell on ebay.They work very well on hot days by not sucking the hot engine air into the filter.The boxes are made of thin gauge aluminum but I have made others with 20 gauge aluminum.There is not really a need for the thicker gauge aluminum unless you plan on using it for soomthing to stand on.
