3800 CIA question

[imported_Xerxeis]

So i'm going to put a CIA in at 60k instead of changing my air filter, and was wondering if there was a way to buy the parts, like pipe and filter, without spending $200 for some kit. So far the best one i've seen is on the W-body store for $200, O'Rileys auto parts said they could only buy the set K&N filter kit, not the seperate parts.

I'm doing the filter in the fenderwell, not the box setup, just fyi.

If you didnt want to KILL it with the price of a kit.. My friend got the tubing from a junk GP so he didnt have to cut his.. Then he cut it a little befor the intake clip.. He got 3' PVC pipe and I think a 90 degree angled pipe and another Smaller 3' pipe to go through the fender.. Then he did the same K&N cone as me.. 9' I have the part numbers if you want them.. he spent under 55.00 ...

CIA question

No they didnt plan 9/11 Mr. conspiracy theory. ^_^

You could piece together some bends with PCV pipe from Home Depot and buy a cone filter. Wrap that and it should be good to go.

PVC would work but not the best idea sorry to say... after a while of it heating up the chemicals used to make and mold the pipe start to come out and the pipe will start to warp some and you could potentially mess up your engine or have an air leak and set off an SES. you could however, buy a U bend that is 3" from a muffler shop and use that. cut the U bend where you want it to angle and put a piece of straight on there throw on a filter and youre set. ive done this many times. we made a whole fenderwall intake for my friends scion tc.

make sure the bend is mandrel bent. and this still comes out way cheaper than buying a kit or PVC.

Ive run 3' pvc fenderwell intake on my car for 5 years. No leaks. No warping. No SES codes. Im willing to bet theres hundreds of people on clubgp as well who have run this setup...Ive never ever heard of a problem. I run it through 2 feet of snow in winter..rain etc..Never had a problem with it getting wet. I have checked to make sure..trust me..5 years ago I was worried nonstop everytime it rained etc

instead of PVC you should use ABS

PVC emits noxious poisonous gasses when it gets heated. ABS is harder to find, but more temerature forgiving and doesn't emit hazardous fumes.

Quoth the server, 404

Link no work

went to autozone today, they have some metal pipe with a bend in it that i could get 2 of and trim one as needed, but does anyone have pics of their pvc or abs intakes? pvc just sounds wierd and probably would look weird also.

i'm gonna say get the PVC pipe and spray paint it with temperature resistant paint. At least thats what im doing when i make my new intake. Then i'm going to make a heat shield.
