Hi, not trying to be rude, but I just don't understand why so most aftermarket CAI suppliers sell metal CAI kit's. Your (home made kit) with the first part attaching to the throttle body is perfect, it is rubber based, thick enough and will not absorb heat like 99% of the aftermarket aluminum kits. However you used metal after that. Cold air does not by any means mean air flowing from a metal/aluminum tube located in the engine bay with high temperatures. The air filter is located in the right position for cold air, however with that metal pipe you used is actually raising the inlet tube air temperature. Ideally it should be all plastic/rubber/pvc pipe etc. A good setup except the metal tube.
Yup the 90 degree is thick enough without suffering from heat. Silicon with 3 to 4 ply is good. Anything under that will have heat issues. If the aluminum piping was bare without my the titanium wrap and gold wrap I would see high inlet air temp in the piping, I’m not see anything above close within 10-15 from outside temps 80-90 degrees summer weather. If the piping was bare metal it would be around 120-150 degrees
I may not have finished watching the video, I do not remember the wrap, but obviously that is the way to go, good to hear. I did find parts, specifically silicone tubing 2' long and a 90 degree bend going from the size I needed to do mine.@@projectridez3498
I'm assuming the coupler coming off the TB is also 2.5"? I'm planning on something similar on my GD3. Good upload but maybe a little more time lapse work footage w/ voice over rather than just talking into the camera? Allot of us like the process/progression as much as the final product.

Yes the tb to coupler is 2.5” no reducer at all.
Where is the part 2?
Been working on it. Need to do some revision on the video content for part 2
@@projectridez3498 looking forward to it! i'm looking at building almost this exact same setup
Sir, where did you get your manifold? Please could you share it with me? I'm planning to upgrade my intake manifold.
Stock Gd3 intake manifold, I clean it and silver metallic paint it
