DIY: Budget Intake
Hey all, This is for all the people who like DIY or are just on a budget like me
I made a very nice stainless intake for pretty cheap..well I think its nice, but you can be the judge.
What you need:
1x 45 degree 3 inch stainless pipe. - for Brisbane people, this cost me $43 from Right Price Exhaust at Moss st.
1x 3 inch 90 degree rubber bend - Again, Brisbane people, Louis Hose and Seals $18
2x Hose clamps - $4 or somthing...
oh and dont forget the 8mm stainless very tiny pipe to weld on for the breather line. and dont forget the host for that too!! I did and had some last min running around
the 45 degree bend was perfect to bend around the battery to where the old air box was, so there was no welding needed there.
The only welding needed was for the small bit for the breather and I also needed about 1.5 inch cut off the pipe on the air filter side. but that only cost $5 from Right Price Exhaust.
Here are some pics..
Oh yeah, and it sounds COOL! and with all the hose and little crap it was about $100 all up or something close! But I did spend $30 for a meter of hose

yeah, well there is no heat shield...for now
But yes, its on a bracket so there is no movement..I found that it did wobble before I put the bracket on.
I think I will make a heat shield one day, but as I said..this is just a budget cheap version
Im sure if you just want a bolt on with no work to fit it, then you should probably save your $ and get the UAS one...but for me, I like to "give it a go"

I didn't asked about the width , what i was wondering in this case was the thickness of the pipe, 1mm 2 mm 3mm.smorison wrote:you could probably use anything from 60mm id bigger.. just depends on how you want to attach it to the TB or cut your original intake...
I have 3mm pipe but that seems way too heavy for it.

Mmmm most exhaust place should able to custom one for you, i know the one near SL can do it, its call Victoria exhaust or something along those line, is on Westall Rd, & they got this huge signs that say "we do truck exhaust".
Ohh they also got a custom pipe bending machine.
