mad_matt 02-12-2008, 07:16 PM I have been searching for air box mods for my 95. Are there any pictures out there of a 97+ 6.5 air box? Also, does anyone have pics of some home made air intakes? One that I saw was made of two blue hoses with 90* bends. I can not find it now. Someone's garage? any help on either Q would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt Tracy 02-12-2008, 07:50 PM Here's a link to a old thread on the subject, there's some pictures of my round filter setup in there. 9c1cap 02-12-2008, 07:56 PM You can check my garage for pics of my homebuilt..... drewkeen 02-12-2008, 08:21 PM On my 95 I took a piece of 3" PVC and put a filter from a 98 HD on the PVC and put the PVC in the rubber elbow. matuva 02-12-2008, 08:52 PM one is in my garage. A nice setup would be a 1997 air box, with opened intake from fender, + hi flow filter (S&B, or else) mad_matt 02-12-2008, 09:44 PM Thanks guys, I like the filters in a box to keep the heat out. matuva, where did you get your blue hose elbow? Ill have to make it to a junkyard to check out a 97 box. How would a 97 box compare to an intake like the one you have? 9c1cap, I like your metal box measurements. Does that fit nice and snug on the hood? Thanks, Matt matuva 02-12-2008, 11:07 PM I bought those blue silicon elbows at the great auction site. I will PM you the link to the vendor (cheap) when I'll be back home. I think a 1997 box will do as well as my stainless steel box, even better, as it is made of plastic and doesn't collect heat from engine bay. I have taken out mine at the moment because I realised that the walls of the box were gathering heat and then were becoming very hot too, so air inside might be hot too. I have to insulate it, polystyrene inside, and heatshield blanket outside, then I'll put it back.

Leaves plenty of room to access battery and side terminals.....Just have to notch the top corners to fit under the fender lip. And I put 1/4-20 studs in the factory box mount so the aluminum box mounts tight to that.... | ||
