Has anyone ever made one? I have made one for a Dakota and for my old Grand Prix just wonder if it has been done for our trucks.

 

BIGTEX made one for his just do a search on him and you should be able to find some pics.

 

his looks pretty good to.

 

I made my own too.

 

JSmith, could you give a list of what you bought?
I just see piping, clamps...how did you connect the 2 pipes?
What's that stuff right after the MAF?
Is that tin foil on the air box?

 

JSmith! Where did you get the rubber accordian boot that connects the tube to the MAF?

There are different ways to put it together. One way is to use a 4" 90' rubber elbow to hook up the the TB and turn to the airbox. Then a 4" metal tube to the MAF, either angles or staright, and you can use the stock accordian connector to it or us a 4-3.75"

Other way is to use couplers to connect a 4" short radius mandrel elbow to the TB then a coupler and 4" tubing to the MAF and then use a reducer at the MAF to connect it.

The only problem with the big 4" intake tubes and making your own is that you will have to use electric fans. There is no way to get a 4" shirt radius bend elbow of any type to fit between the Radiator and TB as there is only 5" clearance stock. That is why there is a kink in the stock tube to make it fit.

You can get every part you need at:

They have great service and are much much cheaper then most places plus they have aluminum coated tubing. Their high quality T-clamps are only $4 compared to most turbo shops that sell the same thing at $6-10

 

I got everything at Airflow Systems Inc.
Parts include:
4" 90 degree rubber elbow
4" 45 degree rubber elbow
4" Aluminum tubing
4" Premium clamps

The two rubber elbows are joined by a 4" long piece of that aluminum tubing inside. All the aluminum tubing used has the edges rounded and polished inside. The "tin foil" looking stuff around my airbox is actually heat reflective material. It reflects radiant heat and it works quite well actuall. I still have to get heat wrap and wrap the tube.

That's the corrugated tubing from my stock intake tube. I'm trying to find a way to not use it though.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! You won the prize!
That place has awesome stuff for do it yourself intake projects. I think my next go at it will be full 4" aluminum and have it bent to my needs. Only if I can find a place that can bend a 90 degree into that large of tubing without it creasing.

 

That was my problem, no exhaust shops, machine shops, or diesel shops around me could bend the 4" tubing, most were only good up to 3". I am going to modify my whole ATI system, we see what happens.

 

JSmith:
On that website, I see that 4" OD aluminum tubing that you used to connect the 45* and 90* rubber hoses together, how long was that piece of aluminum tube? 1 foot? That's the minimum length it says you can buy.
Also, from the 45* rubber hose to the rubber "accordian boot" what is that? More of that 4" OD aluminum tubing?
What I'm looking to do is run the MAF right in front of the TB so I can put a nozzle on one of the rubber hoses for a dry kit setup.
I saw Oxidizr's dry setup when I went to get my Magnaflow cat-back, but it's been awhile. It looks similar to yours but his has the MAF on the TB.
