I finally got pics of the intake I made last year.

Pic 1
Pic 2
Pic 3

This was made with:

3" mandrel-bent pipe from JCWhitney = $20
K&N Filter RE-0910 from Summit = $35
3" Rubber PVC pipe coupler from HomeDepot = $8
Black spray paint = $2

Total = $65

 

Looks good.
I couldn't see in the pictures, what did you do with the air pump hose?

 

Thanks

I don't have an airpump anymore, I removed it to install my Hooker longtubes.

 

Looks sweet!

i still like my SLP too

 

That does look really nice

 

Oh my gosh!!! What's that big open space?!? LOL!!

Good Job!! Very sharp and clean install!!

 

that looks real good, espeacially for being homemade. most people use PVC pipe but you went all out man.

 

Very nice man!

 

I like it!! You inspierd me to do the sam thing. Why you stick with only 3", wht dont use 4"? Mail ma all tips you know about this home intake at sebastianek23@hotmail.com

 

That looks sweet!! And on top of that, the $65 pricetag doesn't hurt.

Take it to the track yet? How's it sound?

 

Thanks a lot guys.

I did a 3" because it was the biggest I could do and have it fit in there without having to flatten the pipe. 4" is kinda not necessary because the MAF is 3.5" and my exhaust is 3", so I don't think it would benifit from a bigger intake. I would have done a 3.5" but there isn't much of a selection of filters that size. I think as long as the filter is big, the 3" is all you need with the stock MAF and TB.

Ya, I went to the track once, I finished the 1/8th at 83mph with a 2.6 60' because of my generic tires...

 

I still have my airpump but really would like to give your design a try. Are there any steps I can take to overcome problems of using the homemade CAI and not having Hooker longtubes, or are getting some the only way?
Thanks in advance.

 

Do you have the part # of the 90* piece of pipe that you bought from JC whitney?

 

You can buy a small filter to go on the end of the air pump hoes....

 

i've been thinking about designing one up with fiberglass, making it tapered with a typer of ram air setup to pressurize the air some, but it's all in my head at the moment, maybe i can post some pics this summer.
