Default Good intake tube with stock airbox

Hey guys,

I'm not convinced the stock airbox flows that poorly, but I know the tube is a piece of ****. I want something durable that isn't a UPD.

I think it would be easy to make a tube using parts from a hardware store especially if you have electric fans for more clearence.
Before the turbo My old setup was a clear UPD and a hole cut in the bottom of the stock air box with a 4" air duct with an air scoop,ran to the front valance. Worked great. I will be selling my UPD,K&N filter, air duct and velocity stack soon.

Yes, rubber couplings and PVC pipe make a great intake. Their are some members who have done this and it looks truly remarkable. I was doing it, but I have mechanical fans and there's not enough clearance between the fan shround and throttle body to fit an elbow.
