NO LAUGHING.

Yeah I think the weep holes will definitely have to be done. I'll probably do it in the bottom of the elbow before it turns up toward the airbox. That was any moisture trapped int he pipe will run back down and seep out. Hopefully.

Also, you might wanna put a 4" dia. filter half way up---maybe take a high-flo air filter you put in your house and cut it into a 4.25 dia. circle and shove it in there. That will help with cleaning your air filter so much---and you can replace that filter all the time---cause if you buy a 20"x20" filter, you can cut out 15 circles to make filters...

And (I can&#39;t tell by the pics) you probably might want to cover the hole with duct tape so you seal off the stock chamber to the fenderwell. The least amount of turbulence, the better. Speaking of turbulence... I may be retarded in saying/recommending this, but you could put one of those Tornado thingys in the tubing so you get that rotation effect which would smooth out the flow through the tubing...Just a thought...

Missed a couple of your points - good idea on the filters, I may try that.

As for the openings going to the fenderwell, I duct taped them on both sides, so that eliminates air coming in from a different direction. And I don&#39;t think it&#39;s retarded - I half thought about doing some sort of fan or even the Tornado somewhere in the pipes. Out of sight of course&#33;

Ok, maybe the Torando thing isn&#39;t that bad... I put one in the homemade CAI I did for my g/f&#39;s &#39;98 OBS Z71, and I could tell a slight difference. I would not go pay &#036;65 at Autozone for one--go on Ebay--they are a lot cheaper.

And as for the 4" filters---cut the dia. slightly bigger than the tubing so that the filter doesn&#39;t slide up or bunch up. This is kinda uncharted territory in homemade, functional CAI...I wish I had more ideas to help out...

But whatever---I think it looks great&#33;&#33;&#33; And the fabrication of it all looks top notch&#33;&#33;&#33;

Well sometimes you never really know, so you just have to go with the "can&#39;t hurt" frame of mind and try it out.

I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll do a filter directly in the pipe. I&#39;ll probably put a thin gauze over the actual True Flow filter. That way I can just peel it off and replace it when need be. Should keep the True Flow filter clean.

you need to put some kind of mesh grill on it to keep crap from going up into it like leaves and bags and what not......and with that kind of modding on your truck and you being in Texas we would like to now welcome you into the Redneck Society...EEEEEEEWWWWWWWW&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; &#33;&#33;

Yeah I think I&#39;ll do like a wire &#39;weave&#39; mesh and paint it black and then paint the pipe black.

And I&#39;m sticking with it being Yankee Ingenuity - I refuse to join the Redneck Society (sorry, gotta have some pride in my roots&#33.
