How-To: 3.0 Cold Air Intake

chrono_killa · Post by **chrono_killa** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 8:39 pm

Your going to need to cut down your battery tray just a little to get this to fit, i just cut the part where the battery temp sensor sat.

Supplies needed:
-5 hose clamps
-a hand saw
-flat head screw driver

RD-0720 K&N air filter $30

18" 2 1/4 in pipe $5

3.0L intake tube $3 from about any pick-n-pull, i found mine in a old 96 caravan, but im sure there are others

Step 1: remove old stock air-box

Step 2: I cut the 3.0 intake tube

Step 3: I cut the pipe into 7" piece and 11" piece

Step 4: I put the 7" pipe into the 3.0 intake tubes.

Step 5: I put the 11" pipe into the bottom of the intake tube.
Step 6: I put the filter on the end of the 11" pipe. for automatics i would use a 5" pipe so u dont hit your tranny

Step 7: I tightened the clamps.
Step 8: I installed the Intake.

-There are many variations of the 3.0 cai this is 1 of them

When I did mine, I didnt use the pipe between the peices. I used the tube with a pipe out the end. Mine was about 1 inch higher and had 0 issues with water.

this is how Tylers was/is (most likely), its how i did it but i have just the center fan, probably wouldn't work with dual fans.

That's rubber for ya .. not to mention as much as the tube is touched/bent i wouldn't recommend it ... just amour all the hell out of it and it looks as good as it's ever gonna get.

I am so gonna do this.... What kind of tools do you need to take it off one of the v6 chryslers?

Anyone have a list of the tools needed to take the it out of a vehicle at a Pick N Pull?

A flat screwdriver. It sits right on top of the engine, easy to get.
Like so

Bring a plasic bag/gloves, they can get pretty dirty on the outside and moreso on the inside.

50 cents/tube at my pick n pull!
