Last November I purchased a chrome tube cold intake kit with a K&N air filter. I was so excited because on my Lincoln Mark 8 the same kind of intake in addition with the raven mufflers (i put same kind on my eldo) made the car louder and quicker. It was a HP gain i could feel. Anyway I took the stock airbox out and put the chrome intake in. I sold the stock air box on ebay right away. It did not take long to realize that I had actually lost power and I was stuck with it.
SO I DECIDED TO IMPROVISE..
I took measurements and decided to build a cold air box. I took inspiration from the police interceptor air box. So I went to the hardware store and got aluminum insulation bubble wrap and several orca oven mitts (same material used in space ship technology for absorbing heat). Anyway I made the box and i made it much bigger then the stock box was and the tube fits great, and it keeps the air very cold. When I start the car I can hear the intake sucking from inside the car and outside It is really doing a good job and my power is back and not just at WOT. I took some pictures.
