    why don't you just go to pep boys and get a aluminum 22* sweep and spectre coupler then you can have a legit shinny looking intake for like $5.00 more.

    simple: because its one hell of alot more than $5 more. The coupler alone is $15, the only sweep that Advanced Auto had is almost $60 (Spectre intake kit without filter) plus the $30 for the filter... with this setup you end up spending $4 for the coupler, 5 for the PVC pipe, and the $30 for the filter. I dont know about you, but i dont have $105 to spend. This setup works just as well and costs under half the price. (Prices acquired from Advanced Auto. Was just there looking at all this stuff less than 4 hours ago. There is no Pep Boys anywhere near here and i refuse to shop at Napa.)

    He's telling you to get the aluminum bends not the KIT the aluminum bends are no more than 20 bucks. The couplers are pricey imo at 15 bucks..
