this is the funniest thing ive ever done...
 

bahahahahha i laugh at myself for even putting this in my car. i spent a total of $7 including the filter.


ok now, please no "maan just buy an intake." i just like making my own things instead of buying it already made. yes it works, yes i have no more torque, yes the high end is a bit stronger, yes its louder, no it wont melt, yes im insane, yes its ghetto. thats the point :D

WHOA! :_ontome:

eh, good enough. better than a $200 intake

was that whoa from you modify a good whoa or a whoa hes dumb

ummmmm a whoa like good job on doing it yourself......sometimes we gotta work with what we have!

that is awesome, anyone want to buy an intake? LOL I'll sell mine and just do that. Ok not really. what parts did you use, this could be a DIY lol

oh thanks there modify!!!

home depot is your friend. the materials list from the throttle body to the filter is:

2in rubber elbow with pvc pipe clams
tiny section of 2in ABS plastic tube
20degree ABS plastic bend
small length 2in ABS plastic tube
45degree ABS plastic bend
small section 2in ABS plastic tube
2in to 3in rubber PVC plastic clamp adapter
cheap-ass filter

ill make a DIY probably tommarow!!!

wow - holy heat soak batman!

It doesn't look to bad compared to the vacuum hoses people had been using.

I give you 10 ounces of respect... that's definitly creative

Sewer piping, hmmmmm...

Definitely ghetto. Props

is it all plastic??? weight reduction! =P

hey its a neat change

lol. thats sooo friggin' sweet son. hahahahahhaha

i think thats pretty awesome that he can make and still mount and have it look just like a regular intake. no need to hate on the man for creating a diy.

thats waaaay better than the vacuum hose that people use *shudders*

very creative :tup:

thats HOT...its affordable and itll get rid of those long boring days..not like an expensive intake that doesnt give any power..good work

what would happen if someone made an intake with like..a Y section in the tube and put a filter on each?? that would be kool

ghetto but i like it
ill sell you a AEM sicker for it

:_beer: :rockon:

lol looks fine to me really.

i've seen it done before, but i don't think it did much either way, and this was on a turbo car

Q: Why is a $300 intake any better? When it all comes down to it, it's just a filter on a peice of pipe.

A: That's a good question... .... .........

And here we have the proof of concept. :D

+10 for creativity and all that schtuff....

Good job, make it DIY: po'boy intake :D

ill get right on that DIY.

you know whats cool though....

well this is probably with all SRI but the sound right above 4000RPM at WOT is like a sound between a growl and raspy. sounds like an actual VTEC system its wierd.

thanks for the compliments!!!

it pulls so much harder, i notice this cause it offsets the incredible loss of torque down low :D

would the pbc transfer heat as fast as a metal one? I would think that this would even deliver cooler air...well if it were cai

for what hooter72mc said, i was thinking the same thing...

I'm willing to bet this would out perform AEM SRI's if you had a nice filter on there (a K&N one would be perfect). The whole thing is plastic which resists heat, much better than metal.

some company should make a cf intake for our cars...there is a co. that makes them for some of the european cars so why not ours. they are supposed to resist heat pretty good too.

yeah i noticed that my ractive filter is crap (haha got it for like $13, paid $3 difference after gift certificate). but K&N's are expensive. how cheap haveyou guys got them for?

revving the car in neutral sounds about stock cept a bit louder. but once im in gear and at WOT its raspy/growly as hell. loud too!!!
