the intake was off ebay. it seems to work out great.

 

Nice job.

Homemade things are the way to go. Saves a ton of money and usually comes out better.

 

it does look good. if it was me, i would have purchased a kit, but hey, looks good and glad it works great

 

I'll probably Buy the K&N later i just couldn't drop the $260 on it right now. i had to order the tonneau cover.

 

dont worry about the k/n. you did a great job. one thing is try and find some type of weather stripping for the top of the shield. this will keep the edges from cutting into the hood shield and from tearing up your arms.

 

You can buy the same weather stripping they use on the K&N kits at a Home Depot i believe. the K&N official heat shield is no better. That whole setup seems pretty nice and I usually rate ebay intakes really poorly. Does that intake have a spot for the IAT, and a gromet? What about a spot for the vacum hose?

 

Ya i'm gonna pick up some weather stripping today,

Yes it has the spot for the IAT, and a gromet, and the vacume hose! i was supprised at the quality! it works great! not bad for $40 shipped! and the homemade heat shield only cost me $13
all together $53, not bad, better than the $260 for the K&N!!!

 

YEAH GREAT JOB!!! looks awesome... although I too would have gone with the kit only because the Intake its self ... the heat shield looks great though

 

Good job. It looks great. Did you use aluminum or tin?
