Someone explain to me.

Why CAI and Short rams are so damn expensive?

I mean am I missing somthing here?

A K&N filter and a bit of alumn tubing and some hose clamps does not equal $200!

PVC would be pretty ghetto, but hit it with some chrome spraypaint and it'll be worth $200!

Just get some aluminum pipe and make your own. My CAI cost $30 + $55 for teh K&N

Tulip the rally car has run a custom "Schedule 40" PVC intake for 3 years now. Tech inspectors love it.

Home Depot bling bling.

Very interesting...>

Just don't get the corregated flexible hose... too much air disruption.

we used rubber elbows instead of the rigid PVC ones so the intake could deal with motor rockin and rolling

There is also a thinner walled black pvc tubing out there I forget what it is called. I used some to do a 3" intake on my saab. very light, very easy to cut, and it can be shaped with a heat gun. mine isn't in the engine compartment but I think it would hold up to the heat ok depending on where it is located, I'll put a pict up when I get home. I might even have some extra somewhere.

I read somewhere (probably on nasioc) that PVC shouldn't be used for an intake because when heated under the hood, it can release toxic fumes. So is this just internet folklore? You guys with PVC intakes aren't inhaling anything toxic? No free hallucinations?

[ReZDoG]

yeah.. I hear Dryer heat hose works good too..

Well it is true to a point. But....

It is behind your firewall so you should not be getting fumes.

and it is a VERY small amount....

but yes it does release toxic fumes...

most plastics rellease VOC's "wich are bad" even at room temp. Sot go for that leather interoir, wait they treat leather with nasty shit to.... ok go pure stailess steel ....

-Dont worry about it just dont make a bong out of the shit...
