    Nice, I wonder if you could make Pringle can IC piping :) I mean I wonder how much boost it would hold before it exploded ;) I may have to find this out ;)

    Considering it's made of cadboard (although it does have an aluminium foil liner of sots inside), probably not much boost :p

    "hey john, heard you blew your ic piping to smitherines, must have been running mad amounts of boost man?"

    "yeah man, running a full 3.5 psi... i dont know why they blew, they held my chips so well without blowing up"

    Ok, not that funny :(

    Hey, if the Mitsubishi VR4 can hold 14psi of boost with a plastic charge pipe then a pringles can has got to be good to atleast 4 ;)

    Technically, yeah, it would work, because air from outside isn't pressurized... so it would still funnel the air in... but not the best way to go about it, imaigne water/humidity gets into it, starts falling apart, little chunks of cardboard/aluminium foil get sucked up into your engine... yummy...

    LOL! Looks like a Jeep 4.0 engine....


    When I was 17 and I had my very first import, a 1990 Corolla 4-door, I made my first short ram intake with a cambell's soup can.

    Hey, we all had to start somewhere. :D

    It would be worth it just to be able to say you got 20hp out of a pringles can ;)

    Hahahaha, could you guys pressure test some pringles cans to see which flavor is the strongest? I may need to result to these cans to finish my IC piping :)
