My stock air intake hose was torn, and I wasn’t too sure about the crumpled heat stove tube that feeds into the intake:
So I found directions for a simple cold air intake hose: http://dmctalk.com/showthread.php?t=4935
Got the 3″ Spectre Air duction from Autozone:
And went to work removing the stock intake hose and air filter box:
Air filter looks dirty. I now plan to upgrade to a K&N
Not too pretty lookin:
I cleaned up the air filter box, and took off the old yellowed DMC sticker. I’ll get a replacement soon.
I chose to not eliminate the elbow that feeds into the pontoon, and connected the hose to the elbow. This setup looks a lot cleaner already! Now I just need a longer screw to close the bracket that holds the elbow:
Got a screw at Ace Hardware (unfortunately not stainless):
Not too sure if (and how) I should remove the manifold heat stove shield thing. That’s it! Drove around for awhile, can’t notice any difference <shrugs>
At least it looks better. I decided the yellowed coolant bottle and rusted bracket screws don’t look too great, and the old bottle makes me a little nervous. A new stainless coolant bottle is on order.
Costs:
3″ Spectre Air Ducting from Autozone: $19.99
2″ Screw from Ace Hardware: $0.19
