Built my own intake tube.


Recommended Posts

So been a little bored with this covid-19 stay at home nonsense, so i decided to build my on intake tube for the truck. Nothing fancy, no real sound difference untill you get into full throttle. I think I'm seeing at minimum of a 1mpg increase. Here are some pics with the parts I used. The 3in rubber coupling on the stock air box had to be stretched to about 4in diam. I took a heat gun, stretched it out, then put it on a 4in metal can. Cooled it down under cold water. Warned it and cooled it about 3 times and it was pretty much stuck at that diam. Ground down all the markings on the tubes, sanded, and painted. Roughly cost around 50$.
