Default 11 Volant air intake tube asm?

Is the air intake pipe assembly that has the integrated MAF provision available separately? I have the box assembly from my old body 07 and hate to spend that much money on something when I need the air intake pipe assembly only.

Ive never seen just the tube (TB to box) forsale..Just the "ram air tube" ..... You can maybe use an airaid tube which can bought for $120~ ...

Go go lowes or home depot, get some black PVC pipe and a few rubber couplings and make your own. Total cost, under 10 bucks and works just as well as an over priced intake tube with a brand name stuck on it. At least that's what I'm going to do when I go from 78 to 90mm throttle body and just use my volant box and filter.

Any idea what to do with the pcv line from the passenger side valve cover to the air intake? If I can put a breather on it and get away with it consider it done. The older trucks ran that tube directly to the throttle body.

Looks to me like the PVC was the cleanest part of the engine bay... just yankin your chain man. But you really can make it look just as good as an intake tube. Sand it down and give it a slick paint job and you've got something that looks better than an aftermarket brand name pipe. I just can't see spending 100-150 bucks on a plastic tube that travels air 2-3 feet from filter to engine.
