Hilarious One-day JimmyRig SRI

so i decided since my order of a SRI on ebay fucked up and the guy refunded me, i went to menards with my dad and decided to build my own intake. I pulled an old cylinder cotton air filter from his old Triumph motorcycle (lol), and had a great drive of innovation in me this afternoon. with that i spent around $8.00 buying a total of a 3" diameter, 8' long piece of aluminum, non-combustible FlexTube, commonly used for ducting, and a 3" to 2" PVC pipe convertor. I went home, got rid of the airbox which took forever, because Chevy didn't know how to engineer and design the 1998 RS 2200SFI, and the battery so i had room to tinker around with. I then took out the IAT sensor that was in the rubber hosing of the stock intake, and placed that aside. With some doubt, but sure adventurous attitude, i went downstairs and cut the ever-so-long Flextube to appropriate length, and then attached the PVC convertor by means of using 3 random screws and rubber washer things that my dad recommended me put inside to keep the screws from coming loose. after this, I drilled 3 holes using a small bit to an electric screwdriver, to make way for the IAT sensor. I pushed it in to fit, quickSealed it with quickSeal, and electric taped that SOB down tight. I then attached the old filter to the PVC convertor and clamped it down so tight i dont think ill be able to get it off. I went out, attached the flextube to the plastic intake manifold that has the 2200SFI logo on it, and has a breather hose attached to it. I clamped that down tight with a standard stainless steel 4" clamp that shrank down to less than 3". Attached the IAT sensor wire, hooked the battery up, and made sure all was in place. Turned the engine on, and wallah! .... Minor improvements, but i cant complain for a huge $8.00 jimmyrig. It works fine, and it even keeps my engine at lower temps which i wasnt expecting. i have a diagram of what i did, and will post a picture of it soon, because it just looks so corny and funny under the hood. I still need to brace it with something because being a flextube, it WILL move around a bit. Tommorow im going to get a K&N filter for this, and attach that once this filter seems to give way. Until then, i cant really complain by replacing that stock air box! I just thought to type it up for all those who are really bored late at night, and want something random and funny to read...

congratulations, a days worth of work for 1 extra horsepower, lol, just kidding (even though its true) good job though, very creative, and cheap, you are a true do-it-yourselfer, although i was wondering where that other header is in your drawing (it says headerS)

sweet....i didn't really read it because its too long....change headers to header because you have a 4banger w/ only ONE header!

sorry, i meant header (but its ok to fake it right? we all dream about having a huge 8 or 10er dont we? lol jk) it was late at night, like WAY LATE, 4:30 AM in the morning, i used cheap PAINT from windows, and i was trippin while lookin at a sweet equalizer on iTunes... lllleeeeeeehhh.

now rip that stupid 2200 sfi intake box off and connect that bittch directly to the throttle body! lol gonna need 2 buy a 90 bent pipe for it but its alot better and better looking to..

Looks good dude, I like to make my own parts too.
