ive heard its possible to make your own air intake system for cheap, possibly a hardware store or parts wharehouse. i was lookin at my factory system and found that i could drill a hole in the aftermarket tubing for the sensor to go in, but what about the MAF? it is placed in a joint coupling that connects the filter housing to the main hose coming from the throttle body. how do yall propose i get that to work?

 

Just do the Gotts mod. Simple and same benefit. I built my own because I didn't like the one with the blower. Heres a link to the pics

well im talkin to a buddy of mine about this idea we have, we are thinkin i go to a junkyard. buy another factory filter housing and cut the housing out after the clamp on the housing so its straight open cone filter

 

That's pretty sweet, BF!

 

i just need to find a piece of tubing that will replace my main air intake tubing, i have a k&n filter. but i dont wanna buy the k&n tubing cuz its too expensive, i just need to buy a piece of tubing to fit my throttle body. i will have to drill a hole for the sensor to go in, but that wont be a problem

 

They have tubing parts at my local Adavance Auto. You could also look and see what Summit might have. Then there is always Lowes.

 

o'reilly doesnt have one in their store and i wont wait on a special order, ill check at advance auto. summit has one for 52.00 i need to check lowes as well

 

well all a K&N is is molded plastic so i dont see why you couldnt use what maybe 3.5" pvc pipe and a 45 or 2 maybe a 90 and a 4 band clamp...and then get a filter that will fit the pipe paint it black and ur good to go... well make sure u put ur MAF in some how to

edit pipe size thanks \/\/\/\/\/ i didnt no what the size was.

 

the throttle body is a 3.5 in diamater. so you would need according size pipe.

 

im thinking 4" in diameter, i dont know about the pvc though, its a good thought but i rather use aluminum.
