Anyone tried making a CAI for SC?
Ive seen a number of short ram airs and the BFI, just curious if anyone has tried to make a CAI?
Seems like theres enough room to pipe one down right under the passenger side headlight.

When I searched on this topic I think I found 1 true CAI, the others were just short ram air that the author was calling a CAI. The BFI looks rather cheap, I drive a lexus SC not a Saturn SC, under the hood should reflect that. I am just looking for ideas, while the stuff I found in the search of this board is great, I'm sure theres other people who have done similar mods that havent posted it on the board yet. I may attempt to make a variation of the BFI mod, I don't know, thats why I put up this thread.

ok, i did the search for you: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=161039
note that we made these CAIs for our SC300s and I don't know what the engine bay looks like in a 400, so things may be different.

edit: Didn't see your completed intake till now, I guess yours is CAI since you have the heatshield.

The BFI is essentially a CAI.
It just makes use of the entire grill as your filter/suction.
Done correctly you get a vacuum effect and you get cold air from in front of your car because the grill is lower than the stock snorkel. You don't collect water either. Really it's just a huge scoop for your air to get sucked into with only one place to go, your intake. Now if someone fabricated a box that uses a large square filter than we'd be in business. Than you'd have a nice looking intake in the engine bay that doesn't look stock and doesn't look DIY.
