okay guys i'm about to hit you guys up with some Questions, I wonna make a homemade intake system, but at the same time I want it to look professional, so when I go to homedepot what am I looking for, Also I'm planing on doin' homemade ground wires, what do I use for wires, and where do I get the connector ends from?

 

Heres mine.

Its just schedule 40 2.1/2" pvc.I heated it up to make it one piece.The way you do it is you cap both ends of the pipe to trap the hot air inside as you heat it up so that the pipe doesnt colapse when you bend it.

 

how well do those plug wires work? I see you had them professionally installed

 

The issue with the plug wires has been brought up before.I had just put the valve cover on and the paint was fresh and thats why I took the pict....youve seen my engine now...its dirty as hell.

 

lol, I had no idea thast intake was made out of PVC! Hahaha, it looks pretty good for what it is. What did that run you, about $1.98 plus the cost of the filter?

no.Just the price of the filter(25 bucks).The pipe I got from work .

 

Out of curiosity what did you use to heat it up with? It looks pretty good for being homemade.

did you paint the housings on your headlights?

 

I'm sure he used a special heater used for heating up sticks of PVC pipe. They are very pricey, but you can use a torch and be careful with it. It just takes like 5x as long with a torch and it's not very consistant.

Yes.that was back in my riceboy/show days.They are black now and not red.I was going to do a write up on how to do it.I also opend up my tail light and sprayed them with candy apple paint from the inside so they look verry shiney.

What do i use to heat it.A propane torch will do with the paint stripper adapter to disperse the flame over a wider area.Another trick is that you can fill it with sand(the really fine one)and then cap the ends.This will ensure you get some nice bends.

propane torches are weapon of choice :P

here you can see that I changed the housing from red to black.No,Im not using that intercooler thats the one I sold.
