I went with 3in pvc. A 90 degree elbow, a length of pipe and a few couplers should do it.

Airaid MIT tube is well-made, and looks a helluva lot better than some homemade pvc...

You need a rubber grommet. I'm not sure where to get one though.

Go to oreillys. They have a kit that has the rubber grommets and a hole saw that will fit on a drill. Its over by their Spectre CAI parts. Thats what I used to tap the holes in my home made CAI.

I used a grommet for a Toyota PVC! It was about the same size inside for the IAT to fit....
