Building CAI

[djXternal]

Ok my friend has a 96 ford ranger xlt 3.0L and they have no intakes he can buy... so he's gonna make a cai, but we wanted to know what are some good materials to use, and are there any how-to articles anywhere for this?

How much money does he want to spend? You could go stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, aluminized steel...

if you want cheap and easy, and redneck, then make it out of PVC pipe. and use some rubber couplings from Lowes

i was going to do that, the pvc wont melt being next to the engine now will it?

and if im going with a sort of metal, where can i get it bent?

what i did with my n/a rx7 was buy a cheap caintake on ebay off of a prelude and choped it up and threw away what i didnt need. Just use your imagination and have fun
