Decided to put a fresh air intake on the coach so it dosent have to take in so much supper hot air.

Used plastic outside drain flex elbows and unions. Supper cheap stuff. One union collar on the end has a screen in it.

The air cleaner has 2 intakes and the LS I cant do anything with. I was going to block it off but decided to add a flapper on that side so if something restricted my intake the LS could open. The flapper is simply a metal plate folded over a pin. The intake tube inlet is right behind the bumper,  so it is protected a little.

Looks good!  I have been thinking about doing something similar.   Do you think there is any noticable differance in performance or mileage?

looks nice ! You can never get enough air to the engine.  :)clap

it least shouldn't hurt. The diameter is big enough. I did built a RAM intake the other day, but didn't finish two tanks yet so I can not see a difference yet in mileage.

It feels like the engine is spooling up quicker.
