Hey guys, sorry to beat a dead horse, reanimate it, and beat it to death again, but I've got a question about an intake. I'm working on a custom CAI for my 4-cyl and I'm wondering if a 2" diameter pipe would be wide enough, or would it be to restrictive. Any help would be most appriciated.

the 2in pipe would be ideal because it alows a higher flow of air velocity to enter your intake. That is why I recently switched to a 2.5 in hose. For more info, check out my post titled UPDATE ON MY CAI!

Thanks. Yeah, I figured that if a 2.5" pipe worked best for your vehicle which has a higher displacement and much more power, 2" would be about right for me. Any discenting opinions?

I almost forgot to mention that I had to make a 3 in addapter so it woul fit on the maf because 2.5 would not fit

By the way, what type of cai do you intend to do. hot shot shot or prm? What type of material are you going to use?

I guess I'm doin' a Hotshot type. I'm using PVC pipe. I plan to use a K&N cone filter, but I'm not sure what size I need. It should have a 2" inlet, but I could work out some kind of an adapter if I end up getting a 2.5" inlet filter. I went to my local speed shop and after trying to sell me a Weapon R intake, the guy told me that a K&N cone would cost me close to $70!!! What size are you using? Do you know what size would be appropriate for my application? What can I expect to pay?
