I think it's ridiculous paying $200+ for a CAI like K&N or Volant...I just can't justify it.
So I'm wondering who has bought one off Ebay and how they worked for you. I know Virgil did...
Or who has made their own and where'd you get the parts (silicone couplers, etc.)...
OR who has tried a "T" style like for the vette with a double filter. Is it worth it? Any issues with the MAF sensor?
if you do it right and build something so you only pull in cold air it would be okay. i have a scanmaster and watched my temps with a cheapie ebay intake and they were worse than stock, because it was pulling hot air from the engine bay

get a cheapie from Ebay, and also buy the heat shield for 30 bux..... honestly i would just buy an elbow and couplings and a heat shield from ebay and go get a cone filter from vatozone
just cut a hole in the bottom of your stock airbox and drop in a K&N. i usually run 1-2 degrees above what my rear view mirror says.
Ive got an "air-raid" set up that has the dual filters kinda like a vette, and I hate it......I will gladly trade it to ne1 for a stocker
is there anything wrong with using pvc type of piping?
pvc will melt.....or at least get supple enough to strech or sag....or even collapse
AHHHH that makes sense.Originally Posted by low&slo
mine never did on my 98, had it there for 4 years

Probably depends on the schedule of pipe you're running. There's no way the thicker schedule is going to melt or stretch. The thinner stuff might.
