isn't it illegal to have a custom intake....like...when u getting ur car inspected, wouldn't they wanna see the C.A.R.B. number on ur intake?

A homemade one out of steel would be bad. Steel gets hott and would make the air coming in warm which is bad. A PVC intake is bad as well. sharp bends and PVC makes toxic smells if it gets too hot or melts. Best bet is to just spend 30 bux on a cheap intake and then buy a K&N filter or use stock tubing and air box with K&N crop in and remove resinator and pipe that goes over the rad and run a cold air hose from the air box to where the resinator box was. If you get a steel made pipe intake at least put some heat wrap around it.

very false my friend i made my homemade cai and man it aint smelly toxic made it outta pvc and it kicks ass a awsome sound and it only cost me 30 bucks :P

pvc has a pretty low melting point..glad that's working out for you...but in the future, if you use plastic....try using abs...

Honda_Racer · 07-23-2003, 02:42 PM

umm maybe was abs lol

marked001 · 07-23-2003, 02:51 PM

pvc=white
abs=black
metal=silver

Length of exhaust tubing that leads to where the stock air box was, then slap a cone filter on the end. Bingo you are done! K&N is crap! APEX'i filters are the best....

Whats the worry about the intake pipe getting warm? The air is in the intake for a second or two, it has no time to warm up to make any big difference.

yep was abs
black it is
