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? | | | | | 07-24-2005, 06:24 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: England, UK Posts: 1,288 |

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. __________________
