Just did some searching and came up with a pretty good read similar to this topic. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/1g-n-t-tech/130765-new-cai-intake-setup-check-out-3.html

I will try to dig up some more pics of other intakes to get more ideas.

Haven't you ever seen this?

I have some knowledge on pvc from working plumbing at menards for a while now, and just thought of this at work, "could i use pvc or conduit for inter-cooler piping in my talon?". After doing more research ive gathered that if done right you can use it, but personally im just gunna save a lil more money and do it right. The PVC gets way to brittle with all the temperature differences over time and is very prone to cracking and/or shattering. Thumbs up to those who make it work though!
