Default Custom air intake

Okay giaz and galz
so i thought about ten minutes ago, back when i had my v6 four runner i had an aftermarket air intake on it. It was litterally a piece of pipe with a 45 or so angle and a KnN air filter on it. Im thinking if i get that, Can i re bend it (my grandfather has a hydraulic pipe bender) to kinda wedge in there. And i meant if i get that one back, he doesnt want it.

First off.... you would have to make sure the pipe would fit in the open space in your engine bay, your pipe would have to fit the throttle body and the filter, if it doesn't you would be getting dirty air into your pistons. If you have to tools and the know how... a custom job is always possible. Also make sure that it is not touching or rubbing anything that will break from it. Thats about the extent of getting it done.

It would..... but not if you were able to insert the sensor into the piping, but then again I don't have any experience with the computer. LOL. You might want to get ahold of someone who knows about computers.
