ok guys im gonna make an intake using my factory air box, so with that said i know i need a 90* bend and couple from my pipe to my airbox. these coupler's is hte one from the tb to the pipe a 3" or 4" inch tall 90* bend and the airbox to pipe is it a 3" to 3" or 3.5" airbox to 3" pipe

 

You can do it for sure if you have the right stuff. Just please dont use PVC like a couple people I have seen. PVC releases a dangerous gas when heated and is bad for your engine

 

Why not be so cheap and buy something nice so when you pop your hood they don't say

 

Yeah an intake is like $250 and if you still wanna be cheap you could buy a used one I guess

 

why would he do that if he has the supplies and tools to create his own.. **** maybe he works at an exhaust shop where he can get the pipe for free and go to home depot for the rubber elbows ect.. Polish that bad boy up and he would have an intake that was half the price and same performance.

Stop talking **** cause people dont have the money to drop 250 bucks like its nothing

 

here ya go

after winter i am going to make a complete CAI but i need to get another air box top so i can hack off the maf mount. i already removed the air silencer

 

 

you guys didnt trip CELs when just using a breaher filter on the engine?

 

No at all no MIL(CEL)

 

ya i got a 2.2 and i like the look so i may do that :-) lol

 

i thnik the intakes with stock aribox looks dumb...

 

Mmmkkk ^^^

 

hey man im not trying to start stuff..just stating my opnion....

but anyways...where did u get the little breathers for the engine at?

 

vatozone

my intake is actually black now not chrome

 

yah so is mine... black intakes>chrome

 

fo sho

 

so guys to my question i asked is the air box to pipe just a straight 3" coupler

 

thats what it looks like

 

is that what you used on your setup

 

its either 3 or 4 i cant remember

 

its a 3" coupler and that is a 3" 45* exhaust elbow. i am going to make a full CAI come spring. i got a guy at a muffler shop that will make the bend for me that goes down into the fender well. i am going to paint it all and use different couplers. and also no CELS from the breather filter

 

I"m made one for my car without the airbox. used a dremel to cut for the MAF. and hooked it up. cost me about 60 bux

 

And for that much you could have got the EBAY intake which is lighter and flows better...

Remeber when using exhaust pipe, its aluminized and will eventually rust...badly. Painting is fine, but think about the inside of the pipe, when it rusts creats a rough surface to slow air travel, create turbulance and not mention pieces of rust rolling into your engine...

For a custom intake I see no reason why you couldn't use ABS (Black drain pipe). you could heat it with a heat gun and bend it (carefully) and then get a 90 deg. silicone coupler from ebay for the TB...

 

I see this ending like this...

 

guys does anyone know how many inches it is from the middle of the bend of their tubes to the airbox
