Because I can't leave well enough alone, I want to build a true CAI on my 06 5.3 trailblazer. My idea is to remove the massive washer fluid resavoir and build the box there. I'll use a smaller universal resavoir somewhere else.
Not wanting to re engineer the filter size, it would be easier to put the filter upright with the "intake" pointed down to a hole in the fender well. The tube will be mounted to the sealed box. The lid will hold the filter in place. I think the idea is instead of the weight of the filter hanging, it's easier to have the floor of the box hold the weight. Yes, they make $350 kits I could buy, but I like building my own stuff and already have most of the materials.
With that said- is there any reason the filter couldn't work in reverse? With a new filter of course.
