Make your own air intake pipe/hose
So i made my own intake "tube". You can buy these intake hose from perrin for example and pay like 120-150 USD, but since i like to build these kind of things on my own, combined with some greediness , i thought it could be fun!
I lways forget to take pictures in the building process, but i got some pics at least, which i will add down below. I started with buying a 3" steel pipe, 50cm long, then i drilled a 12mm (1/2") hole in about a 45° angel. I cut the pipe to a length of 17cm (6.7"), after that i added another steel pipe to the hole i drilled earlier and welded these parts together. I also bought some 3" silicone hoses, one that was just 3" long and another 90° that was about 3.5" long in both directions. I had to cut this hoses a bit to make them work in length properly, i then added these hoses to the steel pipe and holded this together with some hose clamps. I'm from Sweden, and i know my English is a bit crappy, so i hope these pictures will make it more easier to understand. The cost for all parts was as following: - 3" steelpipe: 5USD - 1/2" steelpipe: 1USD - Silicone hoses (both): 16USD - Hose clamps: 1.5USDx4= 6USD Everything costed me an estimated 28 bucks, excl the black paint... Worth to mention as well, is that i use the HKS hybrid drop in filter, and i can't really say that i would feel any differnce in performance with this setup combined with my own made intake, i know for fact that i didn't make it worse however If somebody has any questions, just ask!

That's pretty awesome! For some one doesn't have any welding experience (I'm talking about me) how difficult would it be to get a decent weld?
