I've got some metal laying around the house, I may try to make my own. I've read before about moving the horn to run a CAI, where do you move it to?

Why doesn't a heatshild of a six cilinder BMW CAI fit the TI?

ok one of my moms friends has a e36 328 imma go take measurements of their car and compareit to mine myabe i can order a heat shield from cosmo racing and modify it slighty to fit my car. i think that because of the difference in radiator it might cause some problems, and the mass air meter of the 6 cylinders come in straight towards forward or cars intake comes angled, so we'll see.
