Creating a 1G 3" Intake - Urgent

[airkyd]

I found this page on making a 3" intake pipe, but I can't seem to find any of the materials.

Directions:

Now, I was thinking, can't I just get a 3" pipe and bend it into place with a few minor adjustments, a drill here and there, and boom, instant intake?

If I were to do that, is there a certain type of metal that I have to use, or what would be suggested?

I just can't see myself spending $300 for a piece of slightly bent metal And I know there are cheaper ones, but that seems like the price for the larger more durable ones. Pretty much, if I could make it, I would be much happier anyway... I'd have that feeling of accomplishment

Any tips on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

www.dejontool.com sells all kinds of intakes for way better prices than $300. How does $104 sound?

I designed my own and RRE fabricated it for me. In hindsight I would just get the Dejon Tool intake. Mine fit really well with the stock UICP and turbo but with the 20G and new IC setup it's tight. Of course I designed it at work with my car over 20 miles away so I think I still did an ok job.

If you are not using a MAS, dryer hose works fine. All you need is dryer hose ($4.99), a bracket to hold the airfilter in place ($3). Thats what I have on my 1gAWD.
