Yep...just need a fart muffler now ;D

Kind of a misnomer huh ;) I'm just hoping its gets more air than the stock airbox...I'll find out if there is any difference in fuel economy or power on the drive to work tomorrow.

Why isn't your engine bay all covered in mud? After going through a few mud puddles I don't think mine will ever look like yours does. How much was the intake? My airbox is cracked so I should do what you did.

Man my engine bay is filthy right now....I'll be giving it a good cleaning before the rebuilt engine is installed ;)
The air cleaner was about $60 shipped...I do have a non-cracked airbox with Calmini filter sitting on the shelf now ;)

Awesome!
Definitley report on any power increases. :D

Me too. I see it getting nice hot air from the exhaust. My cold air intake is called a snorkel.
-
In the ricer world it's a Short Ram intake. :)
Is that dirty for an engine compartment? I really need to clean mine up then. ;D

Sure man, I do that this weekend

First impressions:
I haven't had it out on the highway yet so I can't say what any improvments there are over 70km/h (~45mph).
Here goes, throttle response is smoother, revs up quicker (up through 4500rpm anyway). With the engine spinning freer shifting feels smoother as well. It also makes a great intake roar ;D
Tomorrow I have my 170mi commute so I can let you know if there is any difference in performance and/or fuel mileage.
-
Looking and sounding sharp. :)

You can hear those things inside a Semi Truck
at 65 MPH, I'd say they work good, better than
the stock beepers that you can't hear inside your
Trucklet at 55 MPH
;D

WOW!! What a difference the intake makes on the top end. When I leave work I have to turn onto the highway with no merge lane...so I floor it through the gears to get up to speed....normally the thing starts to run out of steam a little past 5K rpm...now, 6K and its still pulling ;D An added bonus is the induction roar along with the full exhaust its just shy of orgasmic :o I don't think fuel mileage has increased all that much but it did seem to be a bit better, maybe saved a litre or so...but man that top end performance is worth it. I was able to accelerate up a couple of steepish hills in 5th!! (It used to just bog down and lose a couple mph on these hills) Now I'm just panting for the rebuilt to be finished...with the Calmini cam, slight plane, port and polish this thing oughta be just fine :)

http://www.puresuzuki.com/air_intake_system.htm o was thinkin of somehting liek that but i think i coudl probly make one like yours looks pretty cool cuz the way i understand if it can pull cold air it will get more power? im thinkin that it could pull the cold air through the holes where it leaves by the strut tower things, would this work?

Yeah I was asking Chris at Calmini about that intake...he said they would be taking pre-orders in December (I asked in October). It looks to be a good piece and I'd be interested to hear about how it performs.

This is the pic of the one I bought from ebay, they had it mounted pointing down toward the back...I suppose to get air from the original air inlet. I decided to mount mine facing forward as a lot of air gets through the gap between the hood and fender. Maybe in Spring I'll fab up a box around it and install a hood scoop to feed the air

These intakes are selling on ebay for about $33 CDN right now...

I should have some time this aft to get those measurements for you.
-
k cool, whats the link for the ebay auction?
-
You can save some expense by just ordering a K&N that will attach right to the end of the intake. Cost me about $35 Canadian. Good power gains with premium fuel and some timing tweaking. Setup didnt like hot weather though... Oh well..

Didn't get a chance to measure today...I'll do it tomorrow.

The measurements are 7" before the bend, then its about 6.5" to the end from there. The OD is ~2.75"
