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 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

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

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...
