DIY Cold Air Intake
I'm sure that this subject has been discussed many times but i just today attempted the whole home made CAI and i think it actually turned out pretty well. And it is very simple. Here are some pics although not very good ones. Let me know what you think!

RE: DIY Cold Air Intake
I gotta say to anyone attempting to do this to your truck....
STOP
Major automakers put considerable concern toward the design of every aspect of their cars. Companies such as K&N and AEM and all other serious manufacturers put thousands of man hours into developing and perfecting systems to improve performance while maintaining reliability.
Strapping painted PVC on to your throttle body demonsrates a lack of understanding of the complexities of modern internal combustion engines. Those attempting this will likely lose performance while compromising the health of your machine. If your into your truck enough to consider this do your truck a favor a pony up for the real thing.
Proponents of DIY jobs are welcome to submit dyno tests with before and after readings to prove me wrong. Also, I'd be interested in hearing any expert opinions to the contrary of mine (admittedly not expert).

The parameters on a factory computer are wide enough to compensate for minor changes, like weather, intake, and exhaust changes. There's nothing wrong with creating your own intake for your air pump. Will it increase anything but noise? I don't know, but I don't believe the expensive systems do much more than that either.
If you can give real reasons to notbuild your ownintake I will listen as will others. Oh a quick question: Which flows more? A single 3" exhaust or twin 2.5" exhaust? Can you do the math? I can.
