another use for duct tape.

Keep in mind when building intakes, that it has to be properly sealed or else it will suck air in through the cracks and openings, which could be dusty/dirty air. Your engine is on a very strict diet of AIR and is allergic to dust and dirt. Long term exposure to these allergies will result in curse words, tow truck, and losing alot of money. On a positive note, you will be quite famous on the forums with an intake like that

buy a tube at autozone or a piece of pvc at homedepot. nota duct taped tube. that stuff will eventually lose its stickiness and start collecting dust, dirt and whatever else gets by your filter and the leaks that your set up has. you have no hook ups for your blow by or anything? ill say it once and ill say it again... stock airbox does just fine..
