Well, let me explain:
If you're in to fatties, I recommend a 4" pipe minimum.
A 3" pipe will work, but you aren't going to get much more than a small chuckle because all you will be doing is tickleing her.
A 3" pipe is well suited for all other women.
And on a side note, if you are in to fatties, dont forget to strap a 2x4 (a piece of lumber, not an actual truck) to your back so you don't fall in

That's not what she said

Hey all!!
Newbie here with a recently acquired '05 QC 4.7L totally stock and was browsing here and found this thread as i all ready want to modify the truck. Has anyone tried a homemade CAI using exhaust pipe? Is 3" pipe suitable or is 4" better? If so, what are the parts used so i can go shopping this weekend. Has a thread all ready been started on this idea? If so, please redirect. Thanks all!!!

That is not the PCV. Ill explain that in the next paragraph. The line that you put the breather filter on is the vent for the crankcase. The reason it is routed in to your intake is for emissions reasons, so if you have inspection you have to take care of it before hand or you will most likely fail. You will not trigger any engine codes as the computer cannot detect if its connected to the intake. The benifits in theory will be a cleaner intake. My throttle body now stays perfectly clean, while before it would get sticky from the oil brought in from the crankcase vent. The cons, some say the suction from the intake is needed to draw the oil out of the crankcase, and with a breather filter you will sometimes get a drip or two of oil. When I put my breather on, it was silver; now it is dark.
The PCV is a vacuum operated system and there isnt a whole lot you can do with this system without triggering an engine light or causing issues with the way your engine runs. If you put a breather filter on the PCV line, you would basically cause a vacuum leak. The only thing you can do is install a sealed catch can to prevent oil from the crankcase from making it to the intake.

a couple of thoughts, someone asked about exhaust tube, the pvc tube is better as it does not get hot. Second, if you are in california do not do this as it is not legal and I know a couple of people that got wonderful fines for not having a approved intake......and the ticket was more than a ^K&n would have cost....
