Made new awesome intake

I made me a new intake last night for the races tonight. This new one really works great. I used 3" dryer ducting, connected it to the air box, directed it down and out the scoop in the bottom of the splash pan, then routed it to the front of the car and connected it to the scoop I got at the junkyard and connected the scoop right up front. I can say it has made a HUGH difference. I can just smash first gear from a stop, no slipping of the clutch and the tires skip and hop while acceleration, while they make a nice quiet dish scrubbing sound.

This new one cost me a total of $5.00 for the 8 foot long dryer ducting.
