Working on a new style cold air kit!

[TR Custom Parts]

Let's just say it will be a bit cheaper in cost but a little more work to install. Will involve relocating the fuel vapor canister to the frame rail and moving the vacuum canister ball. All I'm going to say for now!

Nothing earth shattering. Just eliminating going thru the radiator support. Purists won't be interested as you have to cut a hole in the driver's side inner fender in the area where the fuel vapor canister is. You can however, always go back to mounting the canister back to the stock location, it will just have an opening underneath it. Is easy to relocate the canister to the frame rail. Only headache is relocating the vacuum ball as it is mounting right where the filter will now be.

Already have it figured out and I am waiting for the hardware to come in for mounting it under the headlight bucket on the driver's side.

Advantages will be the cold air kit will be cheaper, will also eliminate a 45 degree bend. Should have it ready for sale by the end of this week.

Well, from the MAF sensor it is 4" and right now it is installed on my GN with a LS1 3.5" MAF sensor. Will also work with the 3" LT1 and stock Buick sensor. Will also mock up a 4" MAF pipe with it and also a 4" inlet pipe (NO MAF)

Here are some spy photos.:biggrin:

Trick idea, I ditched the fuel vapor cannister and the vacuum ball so interested in seeing the price.

What about those going mafless, will you have an option for a longer inlet pipe??

Feedback on sound wouldn't hurt for those of us who like to scare people walking on the side of the road.

Will be working on mocking up a 4" inlet pipe over the weekend. Going to have a new page up on the site for a complete kit from the turbo to the air filter in all the various combos.
