Dual Intake - Making My Own! need input

Hey guys,

I am in the market for a cold air intake and they are all so damn expensive! Jeez. Anyway, my buddy has a machine shop and I ran the idea by him that i wanted a dual CAI or just a dual intake of some kind.

I thought that some of you might be interested in getting a good intake at half the price of the other ones. So this is a feeler thread on how many people might be interested in getting a custom dual intake. I haven't decided if its going to be dual CAI or dual Ram air, haven't decided specs, materials, dimension, or cost yet. My goal is keep it under $200 shipped, have great performance, be heat resistant, look good, and be durable.

I was thinking of modeling it after an existing dual intake of some kind. Wondering what all of yalls thoughts are on the whole idea!

Dual intake won't work on a single inlet throttle body such as the 02-07 G35. dual cold air intake would work on a g37 or 07 sedan.

If you're talking about one intake splitting into 2 then thats retarded.

What will make your intake good? How will you measure how well it performs? Will you be using a data logger to make sure that it is heat resistant?

And you can only "force" so much air into one tube, assuming you want the intake to split off into to filters, like a y-pipe design.
