    I've been looking for a K&N Air Intake System, but they sell for $269 new and I can't afford that right now. I'm not necessarily looking for a K&N system, but it would be preferred. New or used, whatever is available I'd be interested in.

    Why don't you just make one, there are tons of writeups on this subject all over. Look in the FAQ, and the Stickies in the Tech section.

    I have a Wizaired on my car that I've been thinking about selling. It's not brand new by any means but it still works. PM me if interested

    This. I spent more than most people on my homemade intake, but I also didn't want a PVC pipe for an intake arm. I probably spent around $70 when all was said and done. It doesn't make my intake perform any better, but I did what I did for looks more than anything.

    siliconeintakes.com I bought the 4" 45 degree bend in a 2' section, then cut it to the length I wanted. I also bought a 3.25" straight coupler to connect the TB to the MAS, and a 3.25" to 4" coupler to connect the MAS to the pipe.

    I was lucky enough to work for a company that made aftermarket filters at the time and was able to find the perfect mold for a filter that put the filter where I wanted it.

    A 60 degree bend would end up being a better choice. It doesn't appear they have a 60 degree pipe so you could always use a 60 degree coupler off the MAS and run it to a straight piece of pipe.

    Nice, thanks. I've had the wizaired on mine for about 5 years and I'm kind of tired of the dryer vent look lol.
