heh

well a WAI is a warm air intake. Thats like when you take off the airbox and slap a filter on it, or put on a short ram intake.

A K&N filter is just that. You could use one to make your WAI. Just take off the airbox and slap on the K&N filter. Instant WAI. And like I said in your other thread, you can just stick the sensor right into the filter. However I would recommend investing in a CAI, because they usuallu have a hole for the sensor.

...the sensor has to actually be doing something, what I think Tibbychick is trying to say it to stick the sensor right into the filet (it sounds kinda crazy to me but it's an idea). it needs to be in the path of the incoming air flow, it measures air temp, and is kind of important.

The thing with a WAI is that you're not gonna gain much power, if at all, cause you're gonna be sucking in alot of hot air.
