Hey everybody,

I know this topic has probably been covered a hundred times but I have a specific question that I couldn't find an awnser to. I want to make my own Cold Air Intake for my truck. I want to buy a universal K&N filter but i don't know what size or shape. I don't want to small and I want it to fit. I'm going to build the intake tubing out of exhast pipe because i don't like the look of abs. Which brings me to the other question, on the throttle body now sits the stock intake box but when i replace it how am I going to match up the tubing to the throttle body. The K&N CAI kit comes with what they call an "air hat" that sit on top but I was wondering if I could make my own. And just a couple more q's, where should i locate the filter, where the K&N one goes? and do i have to cut a hole in the rubber shield? Lastly there is a tube that goes into the stock airbox and it really dirties the filter. I think it's the crankcase vent but if I replace the airbox where do I route the tube. I know some intakes have an inlet that you connect the hose to but i don't want all that air going into the engine un-filtered.

Thanks for your patience and help.
