i know there is not currently a 1.6 CAI on the market, i'm thinking of making one, in fact, its going to happen soon. is there any interest in this? or is it something i'll just be doing for myself

cool if you can mandrel bend a 3 1/4 aluminum pipe that would be nice i think its a 3 1/4 then just put a thick rubber gasket to act as a damper where the bolts going to be

I think someone used a AEM CAI on the 1.6L... not sure how it turned out but I just remember reading it somewhere. Maybe someone else will have more info for you!

i got a buddy with a specialty tube shop, i don't think its 3 1/4, the throttle body looks much smaller. i'm going to measure tomorrow and start working on it, probably going to take a few weeks, i'll post pics of progress as it happens

it doesnt really matter how big the inlet is as long as you keep the rubber connectors so measure the ID of the rubber connection then make sure the OD of the pipe will fit the ID of the Rubber Connection

the CAI for the 1.8L will fit the 1.6 they both have the same setup on the driver's side underhood.

Any update?

Or any photo?
Can it be done, as I am thinking about the same for 2012, which 1.6 is the only engine type

You can use these guys Airaid - Intake Systems.

Personally I like the look of the black plastic tubing over the shiny chrome stuff.

what can happen, if i just open my hood and drive.

i dont mean "open it all the way" so i cant see the road.

but just open it a little like this

Doing that will make the intake act like a CAI ?

is it dangerous to drive like this?
