One year with my home made cold air intake mod

I should have posted this over a year ago before my rod bearings went bad, but here it is now. I spent about $38 on sweetheart sink drains and plastic rain gutter. I cut the backs off of the sink drains and heated one end of the gutters before stretching them over the sink drains. the white gutters fit perfectly over the end pipes of the air boxes, and they are sealed with silicone. Butt dyno is nice, and so is the whooshing
sound from my diy ram air. My sink drains were a shiny polished silver color until I sprayed them black with plastidip 2 weeks ago. Has anyone else tried this inexpensive cai mod?

drains-gutter-airboxes I will cleans it up a bit more soon with the ebay brake duct grills
