Default Making Custom Intake?..

i am concidering making one but have questions.

""do you believe the a custom made intake can produce as much hp
compared to a mass produced one, like weapon r?...

""the stock tC intake has a pipe with a "3" on it that goes down near the wheel well.. correct?>..
so it is practically a stock cold air intake?

""Does the stock tC like most new cars have a pressure sensor? most new models have map sensors. that come with some pressure sensor?
so is the that box that protrudges out of the intake that pressure sensitive object?...

""and does the "custommade intake" void the extended warrante/ the dealership's warrantee?

you have to design a cut out so the sensor will fit


i dunno much bout placement of that thing so i prefer keepin the place (location from the throttle body) to be exactly the same.

if you need an exmaple you shoud tak a look at K&Ns CAI
