Well i picked up this K&N 57i cold air intake kit for my '95 miata today and installed it. well tried to. They just give you a filter and have you attach the Mass Airflow Sensor to it and give you a little brace to bolt it onto the side of the engine bay where the old filter box used to be. And then its a flexi cold air tube that you have to feed down through the engine bay somehow and pop it out underneath the under tray and attach the end of it to a rubber scoop that zip ties under the bumper.
The flexi cold air tube is too big to fit through my engine bay down through the under tray and it ripped after contorting it a bit and trying to squeeze it through for an hour. So i paid $120 for an air filter.
Soo i was wondering if i couldnt just find another, smaller hose that i might be able to jerry-rig to that rubber scoop? Inside that hose is a silver lining that probably has something to do with insulating/cooling the air. But i havent found just that hose online let alone a smaller one. Any thoughts on what i could do?
