A long time ago I build a Toyota Tercel. It was my first (road legal) car as a teen. I gutted the hell out of it. 1 seat, no interior, all lexan glass aside from the windshield. It was so light I could pick it up and move it over into another parking spot. Lol. I made a cold air intake with hardware store pipes that took air from a vent in a fender. I did end up wrapping it in aluminum tape to protect from heat near the engine but I never had an issue with it. It was a ton of fun. It had a 1.5L and 5sp. I did a whole lot of porting and old school hot rodder tricks and before it blew up on the bottom end I got it on a dyno. It made a whopping 118 whp. Much better than the stock 80hp.

Did this awhile back for fun. Got around the heat issue by insulating the piping with reflective heat tape. You want the air going in to remain cool, so it doesn't hurt to add it. Besides, the PVC seems to be a pretty sweet insulator as far as incoming air goes. Fun stuff guys. I might have to do this again soon on my current project to see how much better it performs and sounds over the chopped stock intake.

Because of how thermodynamics work (heat transfer) it is entirely fine to use this in this application. While the surrounding temperature might exceed the temperature rating of the ABS pipe. The cold air moving through it at a high rate of speed will cool it down faster than the heat from the nearby motor will heat it up. It comes down to the efficiency of heat transfer of convection heat transfer (the heat coming off of the engine) vs the efficiency of advection (the heat transfer from the pipe to the air moving through it) advection transfers heat energy at a much higher rate than convection. It the same reason why air fryers work faster than convection ovens. It's the constant movement of air.

If you're going to do this for your engine what you want to do is coat the outside in a high temperature insulation, one with an aluminized surface would be best to reflect the heat away from the pipe. The problem with plastics like this is they'll heatsoak pretty easy and ruin your power gains from any cool air, but if you insulate the pipe it can stay cooler as the air travels through it and keeps it somewhat cool, and your IAT cool too. I did up a dryer tube CAI intake extension from my factory airbox in my magnum years ago, and its still part of my build that runs about 12.4 in the qtr (pre-cam, 91 canned tuned).

Home Depot is cool! I made driving lights from stuff from there and got different colored bulbs and made a fart can exhaust tip from their parts! I didn’t have a lot of money but I had some creativity! This was on an 1990 Acura Integra GS I owned years ago. For the driving lights I used exterior garage light lamp holders and 55 watt sealed beam halogen display lamps. They fit right in the holders and I fashioned brackets to hold the halogen lamps out of coat hanger. Some guys walking by saw them and thought they were PIAA driving lights! Cost me like $20 total back then. In the lawn department for accent lights there are 194 style push bulbs that are different colors. I used the blue ones because I thought they were pretty but unfortunately a few days later I got pulled over by a state trooper because he said blue lights are supposed to only be on police cars in Massachusetts. Oh well… I couldn’t afford a fancy exhaust system so I used to cut off inlet and outlet pipes from rusted exhaust systems as I worked at Acura and used different mufflers like a turbo muffler or a glass pack muffler to try a different exhaust sound but I didn’t have a good exhaust tip. So I decided on using a Home Depot toilet collector pipe that was 4 inches wide that looked perfect. To test to see if the PVC would melt I strapped a piece of scrap PVC on my exhaust system and with the driving I did around Boston it did not melt. But more on that later. I used a couple sections of pipe to funnel it down to fit my exhaust system and then I drilled a hole in the angled part of the toilet collector pipe and put in a amber lightbulb so at night inside the exhaust tip would glow orange likes it’s on fire. Spray painted it chrome. The looks of the people’s faces in my rearview mirror was priceless! Unfortunately on a 2+ hour drive to Maine the tip started to sag so I removed it. Was cool while it lasted. Oh, and when my Honda Odyssey needed a motor mount, head to the chain department!

When you extended the pipe, you lowered the tuning frequency of the intake to a point that’s beyond your hearing capacity. You can use a mathematical equation to tune your intake, using the internal volume of the intake manifold itself, as well as the internal area of the piping, you can lengthen or shorten it as needed to get the right frequency. Similar acoustic mechanics are used when designing a ported subwoofer box or ported loudspeaker enclosure.

@@Iwannagofast generally speaking, the wider the piping, the lower the pitch will be. The longer it is, the lower it will be tuned as well. So in most cases, simply widening the intake tube will result in a lower pitch. But in your case it sounds like you want to build a snorkel or something for your truck. In that case, due to the length of snorkels, it’ll be low tuned as it is, if I were you I’d take a look into a few videos about horn enclosures and how loading chambers work and potentially apply that concept to the design of your intake.

around 15 years ago I had a Kia Rio RXV. Slow af, but kinda fun to drive. I noticed that the MAF sensor was fully removable from the rest of the intake ducting. I bought some plastic flex pipe, a couple clamps, and a cone filter. It all bolted in easily with the MAF in the stock location. and worked like a charm. I got that sweet intake brap and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I also fabbed up a cold air box out of old tin from furnace ducting and pop cans. Wish I had pics.

@alphabravo007 less to do with airflow and more about temperature reduction. The brilliant engineer neglected to tell everyone that the huge increase in hot air being sucked in by an unboxed filter will actually lower your horsepower. Edit: that temp increase will likely lead to premature failure of engine sudtems. I'm only a retired mechanic, so I don't know what I am talking about. That stock intake pipe they left is going to do very little in the way of actually providing cold air. These guys actually piss me off. They really leave out extremely crucial details and tbh I question all there qualifications as techs and engineer. They say a pile of sus shit

Been running a sewer pipe intake with a cone filter on my '92 3.1L Firebird for about 5 years now, still holding up very well, even with part of the piping being directly next to the rad, and with daily driving it and all. Even if its still slow, it has a sweet intake sound now, and its getting a lot more air than it was with the weird reverse funnel setup it had from the factory 😳👍

As a air intake it's quite suitable and likely comparable to aftermarket cold air systems. Considering it's job is to take in cold air it would likely stay well cold enough unless it's mounted near a unshielded exhaust manifold. If you are still worried about heat there are other affordable options in the HVAC section.

I used a piece of PVC to adapt a pod filter to my factory intake tube for years with no issues.

That engine uses the speed-density paradigm for fuel injection so I didn't have to deal with a MAF.

We used 3 inch PVC pipe to re-locate the MAF and cone air filter out of the engine bay. The MAF and air filter now sit in front of the radiator. PVC was used to run from the old MAF location at the air manifold intake, down behind the radiator fan, around the passenger side of the radiator, and in front of the radiator. We've also added a "box" around the back of the filter to direct more cold air into the filter.

I built a similar intake for my old '01 Subaru Outback after the stock intake piping started coming apart. Built it about 5 years ago and it's still on the Outback today. I routed the intake piping into the passenger side fender above the wheel well, so it's not pulling any air from the engine bay at all. Those '01 Outback didn't use a MAF sensor back then, so.. no worries with that.

I made an intake for my old Grand Prix because the previous owner had left the stock air box, but just stuck a pod filter directly onto the throttlebody, and it looked like crap. I made a heat shield box out of sheet metal meant for patching HVAC ducting, lined it with aluminized bubble wrap stuff as well. Version 1 used some universal flexibility intake tubing i bought online, and I just used a 4" PVC connector to attach the filter to the tube. For Gen 2 I upgraded to the lager throttlebody from a Northstar V8. Got it, the external MAF, as well as the factory intake tube from the junk yard Cadilac for like $60 iirc. Throttle body -> intake tube -> MAF, stuck one side of the MAF through the hole in the heat shield, and attached the pod filter directly to the MAF. It actually ended up looking pretty professional, and still a fraction of what any aftermarket intake would have cost

Not an engineer here, I don't know that the home made pipe would ever melt honestly. It does get pretty hot in an engine bay, but where that is mounted I feel like the fan would direct air towards it to cool the outside. Not to mention the air flow inside cooling the inside. The only issue I could see arising is it (plumber) cracking over time. Honestly though this isn't even much of a negative because most intake pipes will do this (see video of Jobe working on the E36 where he says he'll have to tape where theres a hole in the factory (im guessing) pipe). Super common to see on the cars I work on: Hondas, even to the point of them separating completely because the crack went all the way around. Honestly I love this concept, its ridiculous which I'm a huge fan of, but also if youre bored one weekend make one for your high mileage car and keep it around in case yours fails because unless its metal it will definitely fatigue and crack and/or break. Props guys, if you weren't several thousand miles away I would love to volunteer to come do ridiculous shit like this one time, I wouldn't even want compensation, the sheer ridiculous nature of it would be payment enough.

I did this EXACT thing when I installed my big turbo on my 340i. They said stock inlet would fit the bigger turbo flange but it did in fact not lol. So I made one of these, been running it for like 3-4 months now lol. I used universal intake prices from autozone, and a large plumbing coupler
