you might as well take off the airbox and duct, its not sucking anything in from there.. imo

Keeping the air box there not only holds the computer in place (not going to rig it with zip ties) and but the ducting also keeps air flow over the computer as it was designed. Plus I have removed the filter so with air will flow right out the bottem of the airbox to the cone filter right in front of it so i am still getting some fresh outside air while at driving speed.

oooo Custom Hot Air Intake...Nice Work... Not hating just pointing out the obvious...sucking air off the back of the radiator will not give you a cold air intake. I'd be willing to bet once that car is heated up you are sucking very hot heat soaked air in that location and actually loosing HP over the stock setup not gaining it. But it does look nice...

Havnt felt any heat soak issues yet. Have had other intakes that did have issues with heat soak that you could feel i bog down. The last 2 weeks we had 10 strght days of 90 plus and topped out a couple of days at 99 with heat index of 126. Drove home one of the days about 30 mins when i got home i popped the hood and checked the intake pipe and i could put my hand on it without it burning me. That is the one nice thing about the spectre pipes. they are plastic not metal so at least there is some heat reduction there. But yes you are 100% correct this is a short ram intake or warm air intake not a true CAI. I live in Iowa and the winters and spring are way to bad for an intake that is down low and in the fender. Have gone that route many times over the years with other cars and it just doesnt work for me. Either i have to remove it to clean the filter onces a month because of salt and sand or i have to drive thru some water after a heavy rain and dont want to worry about hydro locking my motor. This is just the best setup for me. i like the looks of it and it flows well with the car itself.

You could get the CAI and put a anti-hydrolock device on it (need to cut the tubing to install it). Not talking about the hydroshield bag either.

Here is mine, with a diffrent air filter since they didnt have the one you posted.

So

The website says they don't ship outside the US, does anyone know where to get Spectre or comparable north of the border?

Cold air intake placement.

I like you setup man thats pretty creative. I was wanten to ask you somethen, I recently bought a set of factory fog lights to put in my Koup. My friend says I shouldn't cover up those vents down there because thats where I would put a cold air intake. My question is can I put the cold air intake where the factory air filter box sat and still get the same horse power as if I would have put it down where fog lights would go?

^welcome to the forums forte_notorious! where in Fl are you from if i may ask? anyways, i have a cold air intake. it sits behind the fog lights..not even touching it. its like under the battery near the splash guard.
