Thanks John. Went to check out your site and saw the one pic of your engine compartment with the red tube on your intake. Looks clean...and looks like a HotShot tube. Unfortunately I didn't see any pics from down below to give me an idea how the air filter is located and/or mounted. -Lino Sacman

Lino, to avoid forking out the extra cash, I bought some pvc pipe 3inch interior diamer, 3 1/2 inch outside and two elbow joints a K&N cone filter (if you're interested I can get you the parts number) and made and adapter out of plexiglass (to bolt the pipe to the MAF sensor) then I could adjust the angle and the depth of the filter to my liking, not to mention I only spent about 75 bucks. It's been working real well, I noticed a difference in power and sound. Anyways I can give you more detailed instructions if you're interested. Will Hauser

Hey I am interested in that "home made" intake if you could give me all the details I would really apprecieate it a lot. I want a air induction system but I am not sure if I want to dish out over 200 dollars on it. Plus I think its pretty cool to make your own any how. Thanks Jose G

For those of you who are interested in my "homemade" intake: Sorry for the length, I thought it best to be detailed and not vague, also expect to spend a good day working on your intake. materials needed: (everything can be found at autozone and/or a plumbing shop) -sensor safe high heat sealant (for the choke sensor) -pvc cement and pipe prep treatment -one section of 3inch id pipe (interior diameter) the larger the overall size of the pipe the better the insulation from the engine heat so I'd say go as large as possible with weight and space in mind (I used 3 1/2 outside diameter pipe) I cut the pipe to somewhere right around ten inches -2 45 degree elbows (male end-3 inch id the other end female-3 1/2 inch id) -A thick piece of plexiglass (1/4 inch thick by about 6 inches square) -Additional caulking/adhesive type stuff (Goop brand) -Drill with 5/8 inch bit -A round file or maybe sandpaper (to smooth any rough edges to improve air flow) -K&N cone filter (60 bucks) part number RF-1016 (note: the rubber mounting flange is angled at about 10 degrees) -A lot of patience procedure: to make adapter to mount pipe to MAF sensor pipe: cut plexiglass to 6 inch square and trace MAF sensor gasket onto plexiglass, remove middle with saber saw and file to ensure free flowing fit to MAF pipe, attach male end of elbow joint to adapter with pipe sealant and Goop (prior to doing this losely assemble entire intake to ensure the proper angles- first elbow joint at MAF then 10 inch section of pipe next elbow joint and lastly K&N cone filter (note : I cut away some of the road debris gaurd so my filter would sit lower) once correct angles are assured glue elbow to plexiglass (if lip of pipe is NOT flat then sand it so it seats squarely on plexiglass, I used a belt sander ) To make pvc intake: glue together the three pieces of pipe (elbow, pipe, elbow) make SURE your angles are right so that the filter fits where you want it, also cut away the plastic flap so the filter can sit lower, now put the entire assembly in place and use the MAF pipe to mark your holes (note: this is your last chance to adjust the positioning of the intake by rotating the plexiglass adapter around the MAF) drill your holes (the upper holes were really close to the pipe so I used smaller holes for the top 2 screws, also be sure to use flat washers to spread the force of the screw out against the plexiglass so it will not break) next drill a 5/8 hole in the intake to mount your choke sensor (the sensor that screws into the top left corner of the stock air box) Note: **before you mount the intake and the sensor let the piping dry for a few hours in front of a fan so the noxious fumes from the pipe glue don't damage intake sensors.** Lastly screw the intake to the MAF and stick the choke sensor into the hole you drilled in the intake and seal it with the sensor safe gasket material. Now start your car and watch for the check engine light, if it's ok then proceed to mount the intake (attach it to something under the hood to prevent the intake from shifting (I used the battery ledge and some exaust strapping) Also check to make sure the filter isn't rubbing on anything i.e. the plastic debris guard. Now take the car out for a spin! Also, you may want to paint or cover the pipe with inusulative foam (available at any auto a/c store) to help keep the intake air cool for improved combustion. One last important note: polyvinylcloride (pvc) is highly carcinogenic and toxic if particles are inhaled so wear a filter if you're doing any heavy duty sanding on a section of pipe Will Hauser
