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. Wall Bash




But god damn son, whats next? Leaf blower injection......
