Cold air intake 04 neon make one my self?

Question

I have a 04 neon I bought a cold air intake for an SRT-4 thinking it would fit. How it works is the air filter is right before the throttle control and then goes to a plastic bendable tube can i just take a staight pipe to replase the old one for a straighter flow or should it bend a little is that a good idea? Is it a bad idea or what.

Answer 1

send it back and get a short ram intake for your neon.  In most areas, Cold air intakes and suck up moisture from the humidity or after it rains and it can flood the engine, it has happened to my teachers civic.  and bending it wont be a bad problem unless you bend it too much and it will restrict airflow.
