Yes you can I have one made from pvc with dual filters but as long as the IAT sensor (Intake air temp). The maf (mass air flow) is actually a ITA I know cause I accidently left my key on when I did my intake and set a code off but I have a code reader and fixed it but it's called the IAT techniclly.
