Hi,

Would this work?

The air intake resonator is out of my civic and now I have a hole in the bottom of my air intake/box. If you look into the air box, you can see straight down to the ground. When u shine a torch up from the front bumper u can see if through the hole.

If I rigged up some pipe leading down to the front bumper and secure it facing forwards, I'd get more cold air coming into the front of the car (and it would get more air as I drove faster!) At least that's the theory...

The only thing I'm cautious about is ppl on here have talked about home made intake mods like this and seems the important thing is to make sure that crap like leaves and bugs dont make it to the engine (and hopefully not the filter). I've got mesh in the bumper where my pipe would face, so that should stop the biggest bugs, and there IS the filter after that as well..

What do you guys n gals think? I hope it works cos I think it's a nifty idea and would be CHEAP to do.

Suggestions of materials to use would be appreciated too, if you have them.
