Here are some pics of my homemade intake. The pics aren't the best, but you get the idea...
The pipe is thin walled PVC from a kitchen sink drain I found for $0.30 at a hardware store. I cut the ends off to just keep the bend and straight part that i wanted. The Filter is a breather element from a auto parts store ($8). I had to modify the element to fit over the new pipe. The hose conections where made from some vacuum line conectors that i cut in half and JB Welded into the pipe. The filter is supported by a small bracket i made from stainless steel. It connects to the small tab on the fender that originally had a clip for one of the air lines and it is simply hose clamped on the pipe with the element. I sanded, primed, and shot the whole pipe metalic red. Looks good, sounds great, and runs super^^ I had to re-jet the carb with a #80 main and a .7mm shim on the needle. The only problem is that this filter is somwhat exposed and doesn't work well at all if it gets wet. Hope this gives some of you some ideas. Let me know what you think.
