i got a polo 1.6 classic 1999 its got a air box on the top of the engine but i dont think its carb or injection im not sure but how can i put k&n on should i just connect on the intake of the air box or should i remove the whole box and just connect like that help needed thanks

Hey man if you can try to remove the stock air box and make ram air like in this video, but if you want to be a little more creative build your own like I did in my second ram air video

interesting video, i have an K&N filter on my civic, its given me about only 5 more hp... can this setup push more hp's?

[supra320man]

Yup, the more air the more power

[bustacap470]

what do you think of the brand spectre filters? because they are quite a bit cheaper than k&n

[supra320man]

k&n is a better filter and allows for better air flow, spend the extra money it is worth it

grate man finally someone is making vids that he knows what he is taking about not like these stupid kids in the internet

btw nice video, very instructional and detailed. i might have to add some stuff to mine, but i am thinking of getting those fake hood scoops and cutting them out to make them functional. if i do that i will have to create a new system or i could always try both, the more air the better. filter and tube limit the flow but you gotta push that limit. i figure $80 for the scoops or $500 for a ram air hood plus painting it plus installing it, plus new intake design probably a good $1000.

I'm doing dual ram air intake on my car here soon

@itscody317 Ram air is a pressurised air intake system.. Typicaly there is a scoop at the front of the vehicle that "RAMS" or forces a large volume of cool air in to the intake as the car or bike moves forward.. The faster the vehicle goes the greater the volume of air is pushed in to the intake system and your vehicle senses the increased air and compensates by adding more fuel to keep the mixture at its most efficient ratio for burning in the combustion chamber for the most part.

this has really inspired me, I think I might have a crack at this myself.

wow that bmw sounds amazing! thanks for the video :)

[tylerksmith221]

dope e36 maybe doing this for my e39 540 soon :)

@gu81singh nice setup bro! i'd like to run this whole thing right down by the grille on my 05 P71 to get max air using spectre tubing from pep boy's it's cheaper but use a big k&n filter

[guit318]

Great job bro!

[rduncan999]

nice job man i made mine this weekend before seeing this vid all i did was cut a 4 inch hole out of my factory air box and put a dryer vent in it and sent it just below the wheel well. needless to say my 60-100 has greatly improved and it seams i use way less gass peddle for the daily driving. i spent about 15 bucks in parts and another 10 on gorilla tape lmao

You've really done a great job with this. I'm amazed how many people are clueless that there's just no point in ANY kind of modified intake, if the intake air can still mix with the hot-ass air in the engine compartment! Pull in outside air (or as close to "outside" as possible) capture the positive air pressure (ram) as you've shown in your video, and you've got a winner. Great work--very informative!
