modified cai
has anyone modded their cai? i have the chrom air intake off ebvay and it points the filter down at about a 60degree angle facing the left side of the car. i was thinking aobut put a nother 60 in to point it forward and then get a k&n barrel shaped filter to fill more of of the area in the bumper. any opinion/concerns?

I think I have an idea of what your trying to do.
My project was, I took my regular CAI, bought another 90* bend intake for a MINI Cooper and put my filter on that. It brought the cone right upto the foglight, which was removed for drag racing. This setup produced a SLOWER 1/4 mile time.
My 2 cents, it's not worth doing

there's no way you can prove such a minimal difference at the track, far too many variables at play
