i have put one in my jeep and so far i have not noticed a hp gain but i have noticed it makes my jeep consideralbly louder then it was and gets me a lil bit better mpgs
ha ha perfect. that's why i'm glad it's my jeep and not yours. i like the visor and it's my jeep so i don't really give a hoot if you like it or not... that's what makes jeeps custom and different from one another...Yeah, and it should have stopped before it got to the moon visor:gee:
MY thoughts too....mother of god
In a pinch, a nice grass chute can be made from a thick piece of leather about 8"x10" when your plastic POS one breaks from hitting trees. You fasten this to the mower deck over the grass discharge hole with a few self tapping sheet metal screws, just along the top creating a flap. I came up with this after getting pelted in the throat with a piece of gravel. works great and never clogs.
what in the hell are you talking about? Were did the lawnmower come from in the thread?
it may not look factory but props for doing something with your hands. i'm amused by how many people dump loads of money into prebuilt/ bolt on stuff for their rigs then call them custom and trash on people who build their own stuff which often works better but may not look as cool. this hobby is about doing stuff with your hands if you ask me. first of all, you've got to start somewhere and second of all, not everyone has the money for a $250 FIPK kit which looks cool but is a total load IMO. i think it looks pretty decent for the materials used and at speed, you're not getting hot air like those guys said. but who cares... there are a lot of things on my rig that could be better but i'm proud to have built them with my own hands and trying things out of the box. i started out doing basic things and wasn't so great at it. as a matter of fact, the first mod i did was a V8 airbox swap for a bigger box and new filter(had it kicking around). it may not have been the most professional but it was the beginning of my learning curve. now, less than two years later i'm fabbing nearly all my own custom parts and installing lifts etc for $$. f anyone who gives you crap, it's your rig and your hobby. do as you please.

FWIW, this all started with an airbox swap...

it's deffinatly not as good as a snorkle but it deffunatly is better then 99% of the other homemade intakes i've seen on here, most people just grab a rusty's air tube nd slap a k&n on it, so before you allgo flameing on the guy go critic your stock intake and think about the the tiny whole in the front of the air box with the relitively lage gap between the air box and the grill that leaves space for hoter air possibly to get into
his design might not be 100% eficciant but even if it sucks some hot air is still no where near as restricted as stock
Kind of a dick way of saying it..... but he's right.
One thing i did was wrap the coolent hose that runs through there with some insulated pipe tape stuff i fund at home depo to supposedly keep the heat out of my home made sheild... Not sure how much of a difference it makes but hey, it could!
