custom intake piping on gst?

[gstclips]

hey guys just finished my 2 day FMIC project (SBR 2g Front mount intercooler). had a few problems, but i got er done and it looks mint!

Question: now that there is a big hole where the stock intercooler piping ran into the engine bay and no SMIC, I was wondering if i could custom bend some piping from the stock MAS location down through the hole and have the K&N filter sit in the same location that the SMIC sat.

Pros and cons to this idea, anyone done it? is there a better way to get cold air....will it throw off the MAS reading?

Thanks for any input

It's been done a lot. If you want to do it, cut a hole and run a pipe down there. If you drive through lakes you may not want to. There have been threads about intaking water and ruining the motor. dre99gsx uses ABS plastic for a cold air intake, but you could use metal the same.
