i used some 4" rubber hose from O'reilly's and some 4" aluminized tubing that bent at work. the tubing you can get in 90* form from home depot (duct work). as far as the filter element you can get a nifty rice burner filter/adapter kit from autozone/oreilly's too. I used that kind of setup for a while with various positions for the MAF, but then decided that my warranty was more important than saving money with a ghetto-*** homebrew intake. I then ordered my K&N 77 series that night lol

Here's what I made last March. Once I get my electric fans installed I can replace the factory plastic piece by the TB. My filter is a 12" long S&B Racing stack.
I made my own "flare" adapter to transition from 6.25 down to the 3.5" exhaust pipe bends using some spare sheet metal and fiberglass.
