Forgot the usual statment from Tunez for the last photo.

"The fenderwell shield is removed for Illustration purposes ONLY. It is normally installed, protecting the air filter element."

Did you purchase that Air Duck(flex pipe) from Home depot?
Also is that exhaust wrap that you used

Choopi

I'm not sure, but it looks like the Ransom Special was made out of exhaust flex pipe.. HEY RANDOM!!! Did you mold the Exhaust pipe in the form, then sawder (Beer is good) the creases so it wouldn't form back? And if not, you think that would be a good idea???? Oh, and what size Flex pipe did you use?? And what type of filter? Thanks Man

The piping is exhaust flexable tubing. Purchased from www.jcwhitney.com in 6" 10" or 20" lengths. It is 2.5" ID

The filter is a "specter" filter. Only $19.95 at my local autoparts store.

The heat wrap is exhaust headder heatwrap, also from www.jcwhitney.com $35.95 for 2" wrap in a 50' roll.

I do not do anthing to the tubing other than stretch it (have one person pull each end), then bend it to fit. By streching all the joints first, it bends farther/easier.

Use galvinized steel or stainless steel piping, or you will have rust problems. A quick coat of paint doesn't hurt before the heat wrap, to make sure it doesn't rust.

i have a 97 blk elantra auto
i have, comming from my fender wall
about a double o guage loom.
i was wondering if that goes to the fuse box
and if i can move it how?
another thing i saw someone ran the cai out
the fender how did you fit the tube outside
or did they just bend it,and how did you attach the air filter to the tube.
if this doesnt work i was wondering if anyone
has atempted a pvc intake system that dropes straight down under and up through the bumper
anyways any help counts

Elantra151:

You can move the fuse box, but it means extending splicing a lot of wiring to do it.

You can run a 2.5" pipe under the fuse box and around the side of the battery, then down into the fenderwell. There is a hole just to the side of the battery that can be used for that. The hole will have to be enlarged.

Most of the CAI's go into the fenderwell, by cuttting a hole in the plastic shielding seperating the two.
Examples.
Cut a hole in the engine shield as shown here. Place the piece of pipe on the plastic, and move a marker around the outside of the pipe. Use a sharp knife to cut the plastic. Keep inserting the pipe through the hole unill you have about 1/8" clearance around the entire pipe. the heat wrap will be taking up that extra space. Better to big that too small. http://www.teamsr.org/ForumLinkedImages/Ra...location_01.jpg http://www.teamsr.org/ForumLinkedImages/Ra...location_02.jpg

You may want to install a piece of rubber padding on part of the body of the car to prevent knocking. I used a piece of hosing, slit down one side, and held in place with silocone. http://www.teamsr.org/ForumLinkedImages/Ra...location_03.jpg

thanx for your help
i was wondering do you suggest
a mechanic or electritian to relocate
the fuse box or can i just cut and
butt connect the wires back together?

Random

You could do the "cut and butt" method if you feel you are capable. However, there are several wires that are all the same color leading into there. You would not want to get that wiring wrong.

Why do you need the fuse box removed?

well right now i have a 4 inch tube running
from the heat shield intake down under the car and back up through the the bumper cover. anyways my problem is that the tube is plastic and touches the engine oil tube(i think)and melts.i want to move the fuse box so that i can run the cai through the fender wall. any ideas
