I wonder if the flavour of the Pringles would have an effect on air flow??? Would, say a tube of ripple chips create too much air turbulance as opposed to a tube of plain chips???? What about the effects of somethng like BBQ or one of the other spicy chips have on the air temp entering the engine??

There is just not enough info here for me to try this on my car.

And what about the 25% less fat chips!!!!!

Talking Re: Air Intake on a budget

Hey their Guys,

I agree, not enough info. Would "Cool Ranch" constitute as a Cold Air substitute?

Also, could the same application work with the tubing from Christmas Wrapping Paper so I could better color coordinate mine as I am not sure Pringles makes an orange colored design?

Inquiring minds want to know???



Go easy,

Candyman

I think the Christmas paper tubing would be too small to let enough air flow into the engine, especially under heavy acceleration and maybe in some of the higher elevations. But the idea of having a colour coordinated engine is defiantly important. Maybe using 2 or more tubes might work??

And besides with your skill with a paint gun I'm sure a couple dozen layers of paint followed by some heavy duty sanding and clear coat, you could have a pringles can match your car

If you want to check out some that aren't all car-related, this is the site those originated from: There, I Fixed It: Epic Kludges + Jury Rigs

It's really amazing that the gene pool is still full of so many stupid people after looking through most of those.

Hey their PiperGeorge,

You just might have a point their! Off to Walmart, and then the Paint Shop I go for some experimenting!! Hahaha!

Maybe if I could find some matching of that really shiny orange wrapping paper, and wrap it a few times and then use some black electrical tape to match my flames I would be set!!! Oh Yeah...thats the ticket!!!


Man, I wish I still had that pic I posted a looong time ago with the mail box cowl induction hood job! Still one of my fav's.
