Default DIY intake plumbing......*pics*
Finally finished plumbing my intake tonight. This is my first hard line plumbing job, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Still haven't decided how I'm going to do the solenoids yet. I now have a whole new respect for the sponsors that do these!

Thanks for the compliments! As with anything else, now that I've done it once and picked up some tips/tricks along the way I could do better on the next one. If anyone is going to try to do their own, get a good flaring tool!!

That looks awesome for your first time. I did my direct port and my patience was wearing thin on it.

How long did it take you to bend the tubes? Any mistakes?

I've probably got a good 8 hrs total in it, but that includes cutting/straightening the tubing from a 20ft roll, bending/flaring etc. The only real goof I made was putting a flare on a tube before putting a sleeve/nut on it.....that was a little aggravating!

Nice looking job. The first time I tried I got so mad I took it all off and threw it in the trash. You are right having a good flare tool is important.

Great job..
Dave
