Jak Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I've done it! Nerve racking ain't the word!! viewtopic.php?f=26&t=39044&hilit=bumper+duct I did mine for aesthetic reasons really and have to say I havn't noticed anything performance wise..... i would imagine it might help slightly with intake temperatures..... I had to make my own template (as can be seen in the photo's) then used a Drill, a Dremel and when it got too late to use powertools (started at about 9.30pm ) a penknife.... lol Best advice is to start small and gradually make it bigger.....

Steady Zeddy Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I did it on both my Zeds - I figure there can't be any harm in adding more cold air to the filter area - esp as its not a straight run so there's no water ingress. First Zeds CAI on a standard bumper to a popcharger (& Kinetix plenum to RSR exhaust) - Present Zeds CAI on an Amuse front to the Supercharger induction - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 i did mine myself... used a stanley knife. Was very easy. Carbon intake will look great on your car Here's my write up: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=14856&hilit=intake As for performance increase... nah, it's just for looks really.

Ebized Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 How many holes (Scroll down about 1/3 of that page) viewtopic.php?f=19&t=16221&start=15 (just looking at thread again - happy memories ) Sorry Buster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Has anyone measured the intake temps with these fitted? I'm curious as with the Vortec fitted to mine I can only imagine its sucking in hot air from the engine. I'm not a lover of the look but if it helped my Zed breath easier I would consider it.

Ekona Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Is the top edge of the vent not supposed to be parallel with the top edge of the bumper, or is it just the light misleading in those photos? Looks like the top-right corner is closer to the bumper edge than the top-left IYSWIM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
