I think I may actually be at a point where the stock intake tube is a restriction for me. I want to spring for the Airaid tube but I wonder if I could just use a fex tube like this

I can only assume that if it wasn't a bad idea that others would have done it but I just thought I'd see if anyone has considered it.

 

I am sure it would create some interesting MAF readings.

 

Better off using pvc pipe from lowes if you want cheap

 

Or you could use the 4" Airaid DIY kit from Summitt.

 

Just get a cheap 4" open element filter from ebay for your ride and trash the filter and the sheetmetal box it comes with.
They are stupid cheap.

 

I wanted to avoid using PVC. It makes chlorine gas when it gets hot. I think the ebay system would have been the best but I found a damaged box airaid tube for $100 on Amazon so I bought it.

Just to stay on topic, I still think the flexible tubing would work. it would be downstream from the maf and 4" tubing should have plenty of capacity for anything. I guess I should have tried it so I could defend it or prove myself wrong.

 

darkirish63, is that pvc? It looks clean.

 

No that's the DIY Airaid tube. Airaid has various size like 3.0 up to 5.0.

Here is the 4 inch kit on summit.
