Changed my air box

[tomtom72]

I used a section of dryer duct to solve the collapsing issue, maybe I got some smoother air flow in the deal. It was a cheap backyard fix. If you have some patience you just buy one section of 6" duct if I remember right and cut it to length first. Then you join the seam, then you squash it to an oval shape so it fits inside the OE duct. That's the part that takes time & patience to get the fit just right so as not to loose too much flow. As a "insurance" policy against future collapse of the metal duct I took a framing joinery flat plate, that was large enough so that after I bent two opposing right angles, and used that to support the final oval shape. I screwed it in place driving the screws in from the outside of the duct. I used standard peanut framing screws for that as they're only 7/16" long. I have had that in the car since 05 and it seems to work great!

Like I said it will take some time to get the oval just the right volume & shape as when I was done shaping it I used wire-Eze to get it inside the OE duct. LOL I should have waited for the guys Dom used to come up with theirs, it would have saved me the time! LOL
