As for the tubing, its something I got from my cousins, uncles, brothers kid. He works for NASA. Its a space aged carbonite polyomer stainless britainium reinforced tubing. Others call it flex piping. You can get it @ HomoDepo for about $6-9 bucks.


Thats a nice setup though you have. Looks clean.

Thanks, its cooler when you build something rather than buy it. And when it works, its that cooler.

i once saw something just like that on a cobra at the track.. works well on a cobra i guess because of the shape of the bumper. I think i saw something like that once on the nostrils of a TA too..

Its very simple....I bought 3" flexible vent piping. You can buy it @ any hardware store or H/D, Lowes, True Value....Then I bought a after market cone type filter. I took off my air box after disconecting it from the engine. I used a 2 1/4-2 1/2 " PVC that was threaded on one end. I cut the hole just smaller than the diameter of the threaded piece of PVS. SO that you could thread it in rather than glue or someother way to adhear it. Right behind the drivers headlight is the relay box. I removed that( simply by pushing in the black tabs and sliding it up and over.) Next I fished the flex tubing down through the hole under the relay box behind the headlight. I connected the tubing to the air filter by using a piece of ridged PVC piping inserted into the airfilter. Just threw a hose clamp on it and it was good to go. Same with the upper part. I did screw a piece of 1/2 azek board (pvc board) across where the flap is to change your marker bulbs for due to the fact that the airfilter is kinda heavy. I placed the cone filter(airfilter) in the fog light hole and it stays. But let me warn you. When it rains, I move the filter outta the hole to the side so that it doesnt hydrolock ( suck up water) the engine.
