Folks,
I've been looking recently at a few threads on DIY CAI and understand that (basically), you are connecting a 3" tube from the lower part of the stock air intake box down to the front grill area and connecting it to a sink drain (or equivalent). My question is - does the grill need to be cut and the sink drain put there or can you retain a completely sleeper-like appearance and connect the tube behind the standard grill? As you've seen from comments from Marc Ducati recently, Switzerland isn't actually the most forgiving/accepting in terms of car modifications so I prefer to change only those things that can't be seen unless really scrutinised by those in the "know".
Presuming I can source the tubing (this is not a hotbed of the DIY circuit either :hihi: ), is the job easier like this than with the sink drains (i.e. just connecting the tube at the top and then "fixing" it to the back of the wire mesh? Has anyone done this already who could give a tip or two?
Thanks in advance,
