Default Lets see your CAI

Im not sure if this is the right section so move it if need be.
Im looking at building a custom cold air intake for the truck. Just wondering what others have done. So let the pic whoring begin. Custom or off the shelf CAI. And if you did make a custom one then list the parts used.

Sch 10 actually. The sch 40 4" is like 4.5" o.d. and I didnt want to have to reduce, so I went with sch 10, and it is much thinner walled. I was worried that it might heat soak or run high iats but it actually runs very cool temps.
