Default custom air intake system...

Anyone ever use any of this company's stuff/parts to build their own custom tubing into their intake??


I was just wondering if it was any good, how easy it was to use, etc etc... it might be the answer I'm looking for to replace the accordion OEM tube from my MAF to the TB and get smoother air flow through there...

Well if you don't really care how it looks 4" sewerpipe and fernco fittings work awesome on L67 cars. Complete intake for about 40 bucks plus a filter Heres mine on my regal GSX

yeah, I've already got a sealed/insulated cold air intake box installed, I just need a piece of pipe to go from the TB to the MAF in order to get rid of that OEM ribbed tubing, and get some smooth air flow... I saw some of that spectre performance pipe at my local autozone, and I think the 45* piece I need is only about $10.

I noticed that stuff at autozone too...but i was thinking about it for the 3.5L/3.9L intakes. You can buy the smooth-wall flexi-tubing from IntenseRacing dotcom by the foot. Check it out.
