Alright I have not done extensive searching so this method may have been done before but I haven't seen it done this way
I am not a big fan of redirecting th whole brake duct to the intake also not a big fan of duct tape and drier hose (no offense)
I'm am not just a 1/4 mile guy I enjoy some spirited driving also
So in this mod I redirect a portion of the air to the intake
It cost me nothing because I had this stuff laying around it's like 1 1/2" SS Flex exhaust tubing
First I removed the brake ducts (One bolt underneath and two reusable plastic rivets in the top front portion of the duct) Pretty easy with jacks

Then I drilled a 1 3/4" Hole in the plastic duct insert the tubing and secured with screws

I reinstalled the ducts, ran the tubing into were the resonator cup was and secured the tubing

It not that noticeable when walking up to
I am not a scientist or an auto guru, this mod may have done nothing so please don't flame me
This is not a contest on the best way to do it, it's just my way :D
The butt-o-meter liked it but we all now how accurate that thing is :(
