dont think so. cant say for sure but looking at the length, its too long. our intake length is really short. im waiting for one that makes the add-on to the factory intake box thingy. i dont want to make my own.

the pictures don't represent the product so ya cant really tell from that, i guess i'd just get the measurements from the company and check to see if it would fit.

I'm waiting on a response from the company with exact measurements for the air box.

Fascinating. Would this accomodate the K & N filter?

There was a big long thread about cold air intake on v2. Basically, we already have one equipped stock. Look at the air intake box, it vents to cold air outside the engine bay. Eliminating that and adding an intake that pulls air from the engine bay doesn't seem like an improvement. But the 4.0L seems to respond to any improved air flow with about a 7 hp improvement across the power band, then tappers off from anything additional. So it's hard to quantify all the other mods like air box gut and wrapping the box in reflectix.
I say stick a K&N filter in and fagetaboutit. $300 for some stupid air box is a waste of money. If you want a cool looking mod, the chrome tube w/ K&N cone filters go for under $50 on Ebay everyday. Doesn't do much, but it looks great, albeit it's hard to adapt the IAT sensor mount, but it can be done with some epoxy or silicone. Some guys like to gut the stock air box. Adds some intake noise and not much else.
RSM Racing will trade your core for a bored out throttle body, some members swear by this, going from 66mm to 80mm. And the best performance mod, Magnaflow, Borla XL, or Corsa cat back exhaust system.
Enjoy.

I say stick a K&N filter in and fagetaboutit. Ditto here... I've gutted my airbox and finally have the K&N filter to go with it! I love the sound and perception (if not actuality) of a performance increase. But I know for some true boost I've gotta go with an upgraded exhaust. That's my next step.... someday.... |

There is a DUB brand air intake kit that comes with the tube, filter and a cover that mounts over the existing bottom half of most intakes. it looks awesome but its so brand new so it doesnt say which vehicles they yet fit. they have one article about one for the Dodge Magnum and it looks great. the size is about the same but it goes off the front side of the engine. so it doesnt seem that hard to make one for the Aurora.

ill try and scan the images of the DUB air intake. it looks better. the second one looks like you could possibly do something with that but the first one you would need a complete inclosure.

Yeah.. I think I'm going with the second one.. I'll bump up this thread when it has been installed, and write up a review.

Now it's looking more like this one.. i19.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/67/5d/7e_1.JPGCouldn't I just take the rounded peice off, then side the intake tubing and filter into the stock tubing? Ugh, I might not do this anymore.. lol |

Why would you want to put a tube on like that, and have it draw hot air from the motor, when the car has factory cold-air induction? 32V needs more air mass anyway, not so much temperature.
That is another thing i thought was neat about the car. Eliminates one more thing you need to buy.
Also something good to brag about. Hey did ya know my car came with cold-air from the factory? No Way....i had to spend $300 for my FIPK on my civic Si. I can actually squeal tires now!

I can actually squeal tires now! well we are talking about making it work for our cold air intake. there is no way im changing that. the DUB air ones keeps it cold air intake by using the existing bottom half of the intake system and putting a top to it that connects to the hood. so you can see it when you pop the hood. gives the custom look. |
