Hand-made Intake Tube
Hey all, I just wanted to show a little something I just finished up. I looked at the Air-Doc and thought to myself, self you can make that, so I studied the pics I’ve seen and bought all the necessary pieces. I could powder coat the tube itself, but figured I would just make this a trial run for now. It came out great though, and gives a nice little pep in the butt when you stomp the gas! Let me know what you guys think.

Yeah of course, these are just examples:
1 X 90° Elbow 3.5” to 4” Black 3.5" to 4 Inch 90 Degree Silicone Elbow Reducer Hose Coupler Intercooler Pipe Turbo https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S3H80Y0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rOy5BbK8EZWV7
1 X 3.5” Coupler (I originally got a 45° elbow, but cut off one side to make a straight coupler) Upgr8 Universal 4-Ply High Performance Straight Coupler Silicone Hose 76mm Length (3.5"(89MM), Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CB213MY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_GSy5Bb0SRNS1E
1X 3.5” 45° Aluminum Pipe Upgr8 Universal Outside Diameter Polished Aluminum Pipe (3.5"(89MM), 45 Degree) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8WNJDM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hCz5BbY20CZ8F
3 X 3.5” T-Clamps
1 X 4” T-Clamps
The 90° elbow, I cut off about 2.5” to put the bend as close as possible to the Throttle body. The Pipe I cut off about 2” from one side and 3.5” from the other (rough estimates) in order to get the fitting right. And the. The straight coupler from the MAF to the pipe, this was a very tight fit on the MAF, but it does fit. Once you get all the pieces cut and rough fitted, play with it to figure out the best path, and to stay away from the fan and coolant hose. Let me know if you need any other tips.
