Tired of my G35 Vortech tiny air filter - building a CAI with larger filter
Soooo tired of having to squish the tiny air filter on my G35 Vortech S/C every time I clean it.....so I've decided to put together a cold air intake to relocate to a larger air filter. Just starting on the project so I'll continue to update this thread. Once I'm done, I'll add a complete parts list if others are interested.
First step...bend the A/C condenser line to get clearance for a 90 degree elbow coming off the S/C in the direction of the open space in the driver's side fender below the drivers side headlight:

I did the exact thing for mine as well.Although mine was mandrel bent and I actually used AN bung and welded it in the pipe and barb AN fitting for the Vac line. Came out rather nicely. It's up enough I'm not worried about rain and down enough for fresh air from the mouth. I do have a wrap on it as well.
Good job man! Looks good!

I'm going to a AirRaid SythaMax filter with approx. 30% more surface area than the air filter that comes with the Vortech kit. Nice thing about the AirRaid filter is I can also get the AirRaid Pre-Filter 5 Micron bag that goes around the filter. The Pre-Filter keeps most dust and debris from ever getting to the air filter, so you clean the air filter less. The AirRaid Pre-Filter also has so little reduction on air flow that it's almost not measurable.

I've got plenty of room between the hard pipe elbow and the A/C condenser lines now that I've rerouted the lines differently than what the Vortech install instructions described, so no worries about rubbing for my setup.

i paid next to nothing for it... and I know it might need a twist here and a "clearance" there.. but if it doesn't fit I will try something else... once the kit is installed I will have a better idea what to use
