Ok well finally did my DIY intake and it turned out pretty good. I'm not quit done I still have to paint it but I like!! And the rubber band is just holding the IAT sensor until the JB Weld dries. Also I took some pictures of my truck after I cleaned and waxed her!!! It has been raining for like 9 million weeks here!

 

Hey, I like your truck alot but the intake has to go. Not trying to be mean but having a nice truck and then looking at the intake and it being ugly.I brought a cheap intake from ebay for 50 for my 07 hemi and it works fine. All chrome intake. You did a good job but personily I dont like it. Just me 2 cents.

 

What he said.

 

Agreed ! Sweet looking truck , half ***'d intake

 

Should have siliconed the sensor into place so it can be removed if it ever went bad.
Also, why do you have that rubber inlet tube after going through all the work with the pvc? i would pull off that top elbow as it's the wrong angle and add more pvc and eliminate that corrugated rubber piece. I do like the filter being as far forward as possible like you've got it.

If you plan on painting it, don't do that color red. it doesn't match your truck and will look terrible. get a closer color or go with black or something.
As you stated, your not done yet. i agree, but your almost there.

 

The truck looks grerat on the outside! The intake looks like it could use some help....Why did you keep that flexible hose? you could do this:

 

Butch, what did you make that mount out off, looks like a U-bolt going into fabed bracket???

And what did you paint that PVC with? That looks bad @$$

 

Yea sorry man im with everyone else....wonderful truck till you look under the hood.

 

yikes!!!!

 

great try nice effort but do somemore playin around and get it looking good remember it your truck tho...do what makes you happy....the detail looks great you have a really nice setup going on.....
