ARB SS172HP Safari Snorkel Intake Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N20HBS9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_JZ5-BbJZ8G8CJ

You can just call it an intake snorkel. If you are driving though high water, one of the week points would be your engines air intake. Mainly, because if that slurps water your engine is good as done. The snorkel takes that point and raises it much higher so your car can take on much higher waters than it would otherwise.

Adding in where I got everything for those interested:

This stuff is awesome! It's the RedLine Interior I used

Also, these, I went with the rear lights, reflectors and side lights and the darkest they had to go with my black/white motif.

Finally I got some sweet strobe vinyl decals on ebay and the classic challenger emblems for the sides.

Can't forget about the HellCat Intake Not sure if it adds much in terms of HP but it definitely gets the intake temp down on the freeway. You'll need this as well for it to connect to your headlight. FYI it's not very tight of a fit around the lip but I don't think it matters much. There's a few videos out there on how to install it, super easy, only took about 20 minutes. ( Note: you need a '15-'17 Challenger to do this)

• Youtube videos are your friend for sure. With limited mechanical knowledge and this basic tool set like this one you can easily do the cabin air filter, engine air filter, MAF sensor and thorttle body cleaning and replace the spark plugs.
  
  
• If you're feeling a little more confident replacing the engine coolant IMO is no harder than an oil change. All you would need extra is a floor jack and jack stands.
  
  
• The drive belt is also easy after you've done it once but the first time can be challenging. If you've never done any type of maintenance I would leave this one to the pros it shouldn't be too expensive.
  
  
• The transmission fluid is easy if the drain bolt is accessible (it should be on this persons car). You just need to drain and refill (refill to the full line when the car is warmed up and running). Then after 5000 miles repeat the drain and refill. Done.
  
  
• The shocks and struts are a little harder. Items can be hard to remove and bolts stripped or overtighten; this is best left to seasoned hand. Plus it's a pain in the ass and requires more expensive tools (torque wrench, box wrenches, pry bars, heavy hammers, spring compressors). I do recommend to bring your own parts to the mechanic. A full set of top of the line KYB shocks and mounts will only cost you $350 at rockauto.com. This will only leave labor which should cost anywhere from $300-$500.
  

It's an amazing mod. Outside of that - you are right in the fact the N52 is pretty well tuned from factory- worst case you can buy a new oem disa intake, but that starts getting pretty $$$. A good shop should be able to source a refurbished one. The x5's, 330s, and Z's all had the upgraded n52.

I did get 2-3 horsepower and a noticeable sound from doing a silicone intake tube as well - that was a good bang for your buck. https://www.amazon.com/Mishimoto-MMHOSE-E90-06IHBK-Engine-Silicone-2006-2013/dp/B01GA9WBB0 - I also did a clutch stop (assuming you have manual) which shortens the clutch dead space, that was $15 and is basically a plastic plug http://www.burgertuning.com/clutch_stop_BMW.html . ZHP shift knob was a nice upgrade from the plastic oem one too.

I've done pretty much every "low hanging fruit" mod on my e91, happy to share my experience. You're welcome to pm me if you have any questions

I have a 2001 Toyota Camry and I just had to replace my resonator. The part number was 17890-0311. The cheapest one I was able to find was on Amazon

I got this guy right here - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B90NGBK/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_TeZRub1BHQW7X

• It will require modifications to work though on a 97+, I didn't have the time to do it so I gave it to my mechanic and he did a fantastic job of installing it. Essentially what mods you'll need to make is -
  
  

1. Fabricate a cover for the old intake, the one provided doesn't work.
   
   
2. Modify where the snorkel enters the fender, the washer fluid bottle is in the way on 97+
   
   
3. Cut a hole in the back of the airbox, and put the new tube in through that, rather than the factory intake.

I take it no engine lights? Tire pressure ok? Did you change tires or brakes recently? Any mods done (k&n filter?)?

I would say could be winter gas and tire pressure but not sure if FL gets winter gas or not and temps have not dropped that much there.

Also check for vacuum leaks, spray out the throttle body with cleaner, and clean the MAF sensor with proper MAF cleaner. I have seen k&n filters dirty the MAF sensor up and cause issues.

I purchased and installed this: https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Intake-63-9039-Lifetime-Filter/dp/B01IB1HH46/

The whole thing took me about an hour and a half to install, the instructions were better than Ikea (which aren't bad), and the entire mod is reversible if necessary.

Note: it's noticeably louder in the cabin (and outside) when you 'git after it' on the throttle. I find myself downshifting instead of honking when it's "safe" to choose.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M1L1R3L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i bought this one for my 2017 LE 2.0 cvt it sounds and looks cool is all.

they changed the shape of the MAF sensor from 2015, 16 and 17 i think from what i heard

it all depends on how you're doing it and what you already have.

for me I have a semi flex dryer hose kinda like this one. so I'll get a soft hose like [this one]
(https://www.amazon.com/Dundas-Jafine-BTD48TC-ProFlex-Transition/dp/B0015UGPWQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1496271613&sr=8-2&keywords=dryer+hose) and splice it in with something like this and duct tape. This will go inline and serve as the exhausting force. This is how it will mount to the printer enclosure. I haven't settled on any of these parts especially the backdraft damper as I need it to seal reasonably well, but something like this.

the other thing to consider is when to vent. for PLA you can vent the whole time which is easier. But for things like ABS you don't want to vent all the time or you'll lose the ambient heat. So you'll vent after it's done. At first I didn't think this would be an issue but after reading this and the concern with ultrafines I have to reconsider. If the fines settle while it's printing then exhausting after will only minimise the airborne stuff, but opening the box and removing the print could stir up settled pollutants. Perhaps I need an internal fan to stir up the settled fines and get them to exhaust.

This might be overkill for some people. I have pets and kids and safety is something that is important to me as I've spent a good portion of my working life dealing with potentially hazardous materials and environments.

If you have a window near your printer you could just use an AC window vent.

Here ya go.

Sure, carb cleaner might work. It might not and cause more issues. Just buy this:

This one right?

is there a significant difference between a drop in and a CAI? i know my car (2012 SEL, 2 liter) wants to breath move. 30$ for a drop in K&N filter is a lot different than a 300$ CAI. https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Intake-69-3517TS-Lifetime-Non-Turbo/dp/B00861C6LQ 10 hp seems like a big gain for just a new intake. realistic, or marketing?

This was the cold air <--The page says for the ST, would this even be compatible with my SE(update: K&n website says it is)

And this is the performance

In theory i'd like whatever makes it louder, but if one is better vs another, i'd want to hear the options

It's mostly in town driving on my way to work, could be the difference. I got an airaid filter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007P2ESCC/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_VvSNBbPWB1VBS

Yeah, it's the Spectre Performance 9948 Air Intake Kit for Jeep Cherokee 4.0L. I picked it up locally from Craigslist early on after I bought my XJ, was one of the first handful of mods I did. It uses the Spectre Performance HPR9833 Air Filter. Fits over the valve cover with no issues.

I've done a cowl intake, using this kit: https://www.amazon.com/Spectre-Performance-9948-Intake-Cherokee/dp/B005M1ZBGA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Spectre isn't making it right now, iirc they were working on redoing it. That was several years ago, so who knows. I love this kit, got it after I was above the headlights in water and hydrolocked. I don't like the look of snorkels so this was fine for me.

i wouldnt, because if you do that less air will flow through the light. its going to travel through the path of least resistance. i'd personally use the led's in the beginning anyway.

also it looks like you'd need one of these

Try this. Sometimes leaves and other stuff gets into air intake. Should solve your problem.
