Saw a carbon fiber tube on ebay for $110 , dont know if thats considered cheap or not?

What filters are you guys running? I have a K&N, but Ive read a lot of bad things about it.

My tube is 3.5" x 9". I had to cut it down. It was 10" or 12" originally. It was $25 shipped when I got it off ebay.

I think this is who I bought mine from, may want to contact them to see if they have shorter lengths. Don't see any listed currently.

What radiator are you using? did it help with the temps at all? my stock one with 160 t stat wont keep it under 190 on a hot day unless its moving at least 60 mph

I also have a 160 stat but set to 180 stat settings not to cook the fan motors.

Once moving it drops, but other than that it held true to 180-185 which is fine.

I had one fan fail and i use to over temp very quickly in stop and go traffic, once i started to move it cooled off again....

I just used some PCV fittings from the Dorman display and epoxied it. I don't have any P/N's.

I'm working on making a gto intake work with my rigged K&N enclosure, it has a 45 degree bend which helps get it over the bolt but I need another 45 coupler to finish it off... I think, it looks like it will work

The GTO and camaro intakes are not going to work. the engine is further back than ours. You just need asection of straight tube, a 90 and 45 elbow, and a home made sheet and you have a CAI on a budget

I can't find cheap carbon tube anywhere, all I can find is expensive structural type stuff for around 100 bucks a piece.

cant help you out there, i used all mine up...

Your gonna have to pay to get good quality CF...

You want cheap then buy ALU pipe

These guys are talking about paying $25 for a decent looking tube, I'm not trying to be cheap just don't want to pay 4 times that to achieve the same goal. I'll have to just watch ebay for a while.

I paid $250 for 26" length of 4" CF tubing. I then made Alu ends so when i clamp down it doesnt break the CF. Then i finished it off with Nylon Locks so it will hold tight and not look tacky...

Naf, I see the thickness of the cf varies with price....what's the ballpark thickness of the tube you used? I don't want to over/under do it if I can help it.

Naf

1-1.5mm is more than plenty. Mine are 1.5mm and i still added the alu rings on the outside

Drill a hole, thread/screw in a barb fitting that fits the hose you want to use, RTV the threads of said barb fitting. Done.

I know mine is the plastic intake, but you can do the same to silicone
