Our senior class had to do a career project this semester. We had to write research papers and do job presentations. Since I want to be an automotive engineer, I decided to design, build, and run a simple pvc CAI on the tC, but not like the ones you see on the super riced out civics. I wanted to do something classy, tasteful, and functional (if that's even possible with a pvc intake) using one pipe size and put a nice paint job since there it will be judged and a scholarship will be awarded to the winner.

Here are the pics.














So any opinions? And by the way, I don't plan to keep it on very long.

 

i was about to say has your CEL light come on yet but then i saw the headers. how does the car feel with that tube you put on there and i see you probably made the fitting right and probably tight to have the MAF on there without screwing it on.

 

The MAF isn't throwing a CEL and neither is the header. And the MAF is screwed on and secured.

 

omg that's the most pimp idea I've ever seen.. Now ur missing a brand to imprint on there! Does it work buy the way n is it up for sale?

 

I look at the first and second pics and I'm like Noooo haha n then i scroll down n see the rest. Honestly, not bad. Some other guy tried making one here on SL, his was pathetic

Hope you win

 

major props for that project man. that's one of the most original things i've seen in this section for a while. what type of air filter are you running?

 

Thanks for compliments, guys.

I'm using a cheap APC filter from Advance Auto since I probably won't have it on very long, but if I do decide to keep it on, I will put my AEM filter on.

 

thats looks great and really profeesional. hope u win.

 

It looks really clean and professional. Great idea and good job.

 

wow

 

thats pretty nice actually. well at least alot better than that other ghetto intake post.

 

nice dude looks very good

 

that actually look really legit

 

You may want to rethink using that material. PVC is not heat tolerant and when it is heated it releases toxic gases that are harmful to you and aluminum, that metal that the engine is made out of....

 

it looks clean man. like everyone else said, i hope you win

 

Looks nice - def. not rice

 

great job!!
I love the paint job.
Good luck and i hope you win!!

 

what kind of paint did you use? how about engine paint (heat resistant)?

 

I was going to use some high temp, but I figured that since I wasn't going to have it on for very long that I would just use regular paint. I used black duplicolor textured metallic from Autozone.

 

isint that what it's all about in the end lol
