Intake... what do you think...?
« on: May 06, 2003, 10:46:22 am »
I was looking at 1g stuff on ebay and came across this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2413160389&category=42604

90$ US... not bad.. but look what your getting... not very good value if you ask me... i bought a bunch or 3" stainless mandrel bent pipe... so ill probably make one of these for Jareds car and see how it works out... would anyone else be interested?

its pretty much just 2 45degree bends welded together + a few vaccum lines and BOV return line.. i could probably make the same thing for about $50 canadian...

Hey there Jarad, I'd be interested if you can fab one up for me.  Mine would be kinda different from the regular ones though because I have a hard lower intercooler pipe and 2G mas that I want to hook up.

Later, Vlad.
all go, no show!

I have a 3" PVC pipe sitting in my garage right now but it won't fit right with the Lower intercooler pipe I have. :evil:
