Airbox/heatshield

[pur97tsifwd]

Made me a heatshield for my intake today came out pretty well i think for my first custom fabrication. Took out the guards behind the head light to help out with air flow. Going to later build a way to get air from the fog light area to the intake then maybe seal the filter in a box.

Made a template on cardboard then transfer over to sheet metal. got some adhesive tape and put around the sheet metal cut the foam tubing down the middle and stuck it around the sheet metal on the adhesive tape mounted it all and done!

Tools used
Card board

Looks good, I'm building one myself. What did you use between the sheet metal and both other sides to seal it? Did you make gaskets or use rubber seals?

I bought a 2g maft filter kit and it came with a gasket for the bracket.

Guess I'll be making my own gaskets then Thanks

I would try weather stripping. That's what it looks like

Nice, have you measured any differences?

what thickness of metal did u use? That always seems to be the hard part to figure out to me.

No I have not tested it yet painting a fender now to go on the car and installed another slim fan but soon i just got dsmlink so im really excited to see how it does. Idk what the thinkness is i just had some galvanized sheet metal laying around and used it.

Ive been looking around for something like this to build Im probably going to pay a fab shop like 20 or 30 bucks to cut it clean for me though.
