where to buy upper pipe for hybrid intake?

i am getting ready to put in a hybrid intake. i've searched the forums trying to figure out where to buy this piece. there was a thread about some seller on ebay, but he has a rating of -4, lol. and i really would rather just buy it made, then construct one myself...

auto parts store (if you want the metal piece) and home depot (or the similiar) for the rest of the parts, or if you want the rubber coupling, everything cna be found at home depot...the metal piece costs less, is more sturdier, but i think its harder to make IMO....drilling into rubber is easier than drilling into metal

I just switched from the rubber upper piping to the new metal DIY upper piping. The rubber one took all of a half hour to construct, the metal one was a different story. It took me forever to cut the tube the way I wanted it (I wanted a slight angle on the cut to bump snug up against the intake manifold). The holes for the vacume tubes were a pain to get just the right size. With painting and all it took like 4 hours



But I would rather do it my self. A good feeling of acomplishment.

I did mine myself...15 bucks baby! BTW...If you are expecting HUGE low-end gains don't count on it. I was all excited that I would get a lot of low-end power back, but it's not much at all...however the sound is a lot better! -Dave

would adding this piece be worth the $50.00, or would it be just as good to just have a filter only??

If you don't want to spend $50 make it your self. It is just as good.

I would buy that ebay one, but I'm afraid the filter I'm already using is too long to work with it. ???

When I set up my hybrid intake last summer, I hooked up a PR CAI upper pipe to my JWT Pop-charger. It looks clean, and hooked up perfectly.

Sounds good too
