Default K&N Tube is gone

Well in order to get my TBS and K&N FIPK to work together I had to cut the lip on the K&N tube in order to get it to clear the fan. Well it worked great for about 2 months until a few days ago it started sliding off and hitting the fan also creating an air leak. So to day I finally had it I yanked the damn thing off and modded my stock air tube for the time being until I can fab my custom intake tube using a larger diameter of PVC tubing. Just pisses me off because I screwed up my tube. Oh well I'll have more air with the larger tube. Anyone fabbed their own intake tube. Pics would be great.

I did notice a nice gain with them together. There hadn't been that many guys that I knew of that had tried it so I figured I'd give it a try.
