I was reading about random things on v8peformance.com and i ran across this and instantly became interested. Only thing im wondering is how do you connect your "home brew" to you intake? Has anyone done this?

"Budget Modifications" for your V6/V8:

* Build yourself a "Home-Brew" 3" Intake system from Black Plastic tubing found at Home Depot and grab a Fernco rubber coupling (to attach to your airhat) - $10 approximately
* Add a 6x9" K&N Cone Filter - $35 approximately
* Remove the rubber flap on the passenger-side/radiator support (adds cold air to the intake) - FREE
* 180 Degree Robert Shaw High-Flow Thermostat - $9 approximately
* Relocate IAT Sensor into the intake tube - FREE
* DynoMax Super-Turbo - Single 2.5" IN/OUT (Replaces factory muffler) - $65 Installed approximately

Total cost of the modifications listed is around $150-$160. You can also add a V6 to V8 Throttle Body conversion kit to your V6 for an extra $210 + Shipping...we carry it in stock.

 

There are a couple threads on here about the home brew CAI... just do a search... pics are posted as well

you can get a air hat off a Dakota

i got these from motor

 

searched for a few and it doesnt seem worth it. melting pvc etc.. sounds like crap.

 

sounds like i wasted my time...oh well

 

Not a bad job, but I would'nt mount my filter that low on a 4x4 in case I had to ford water or deep mud.

 

i was gonna build one of those but do it stright to where the stock tube mounts. I was gonna make the hole in the fender bigger and put the filter in the fender. Got the round filter instead

 

i was looking at the round air cleaner and people say that the best thing to do is drop in a k&n replacement filter. i dont know.. i was leaning toward the round air setup because of the low price. id rather pay 20 on a round air setup rather than just 50 on a replacement filter. but i figured that if the round air is just as good as stock than ill just save up and buy the replacement filter... i

 

It looks cool, sounds cool, and everybody loves them that's why I went with the round one. I would like to buy a blue filter for it though

 

do you think its better than the stock box with a drop in k&n? also did you have to buy a crank case filter as well or did the round air cleaner come with one?
