I know this sounds really hokie... But I am an electrician and I was half *** tempted to make me an intake with some EMT conduit.

Anything will work really, just wont be as flashy as others sell.

Re: Cold Air intake.

combine less restriction in the air box, and the cooler air...

most cases you'll see 8-10hp

There's a lot of people on this site who have spent around $30 bucks or less making their own with PVC pipe bought from Home Depot or something. You can basically make it out of anything if you only care of function not the looks. Much cheaper than aftermarket.
