Default re-moded my homebrew CAI...PICS

Well I have busy lately so I haven't been on here (at least posted much) in a few months. I have been busy moving out to the my families farm house just outside the city limits! I haven't done much to my truck except an el-cheapo paint in bed liner and re-did my home-brew CIA. I did a little more extensive job than my first one so here are the pics....let me know what you think!

so to be honest it took me awhile to figure out a "glue" to hold it together. I tried lots of things but settled on JB WELD. I trimmed thd female end off the PVC, glued all the pieces together, drilled a 1/2 in hole for the IAT sensor, sand and paint.

I got the idea off this forum (I believe Weed was talking about a method to fuse them together, but I think it takes equipment that I don't have) to make it seamles but as I put it together I also used a Dremel to sand inside for a better air flow. I have no idea if it helps but in theory it should.

I have to say that looks just as good as weeds' CAI. Let us know how the JB Weld holds up
