| K, if this is in the wrong thread, i apologize, stop crying and go fap. anyways, heres my idea. i was thinking about pointless crap, and i was wondering if there is any reason this wouldnt work. PVC INTAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. LOL, ok, so i could basically make it as short, and wide as i want for like 5 bucks. K&N filter, 50-60 bucks. so you get why one might do this now. Heres what concerns me. First: i will be known as that douche ricer kid. Second: will heat effect this? its pretty thick stuff and durable, but i dont think it could possibly get hot enough and start to melt badly. so, rabble on, what do you think? yay or nay? heres a pic off of google for ideas. | |

| No. Get a proper intake tube. Whats next, a cardboard body kit? Do it right the first time or don't bother IMHO. | |

Yeah, i will get a proper intake. but you didnt answer my question. it wouldnt hurt to do it, could it? shorter/fater intake? not saying i will, because i know spectre SR intakes arnt too pricy. but i was just wondering if there is any flaw of doing that. And about the body kit, i did that to my moms maxima one day while she was sleeping. should of took pictures. | |

| ... If you are going as far as fabricating your own intake, use the PVC for a mockup. Take that whole pile of 5$ PVC to a pipe bender and get some simple aluminized exhaust pipe bent to match. throw a coat of hi-temp paint on it and call it a day. PVC is NOT a good idea under the hood. | |

| I had a pvc intake on a gtp once. Didn't have any joints in it tho as I could just use a silicone 45 and then pvc then the filter. Painted it up and no body could tell. | |

| So compared to stock, if you do this, you will have an intake that looks worse, filters worse, makes no more power and cost you $65. That is less than brilliant. | |

| take it from a plumber. Don't use PVC pipe. Use ABS pipe(the black stuff) because it takes heat much much better then PVC. But god damn son, whats next? Leaf blower injection...... |
