Cold Air Intake Question

Does anyone have all of the measurements for the shield box of a cold air intake? I'm planning on building one to fit a 99 F350 7.3l.

Yep, that is exactly what I have been looking for. I guess one of these days I will actually use the search instead of just posting questions. Thanks for the reply and not not yelling at me to use the search...

Nah, we don't yell here. Realistically I can search it quickly because I remember the people who did threads, so I generally advance search with their user name and what I am looking for.

I did this, straite 4" stainless pipe from the turbo intake tube to the filter. Works pretty good, cost like $90 total and I imagine it out flows just about anything.

That is really nice how someone made a template to share. Its just so easy now I might have to make one too. Has anyone read there air intake temp before and after?

Yeah, coolest it gets is ambient temp. The difference is a cold air intake gets cooler outside air faster. The factory intake takes longer to pull in cooler air.

The difference for me was the sound. The drone of the 6637 on some roads drove me crazy, so a box seemed like the simplest solution.

If you're wanting cooler intake temps, couple the box with the zoodad mod. That will cool it down more than the box alone.
