my father found an aluminum (i guess) intake pipe w/kone attached on the highway! lucky me he gave it to meas he couldnt use it on his 93TT. it was roughly about a foot and 1/2 long with one 45 degree bend with a diameter just under 3 inches. i cut it near the bend went to home depot and got the 3 to 2 in. connecter and the 3 to 3 connector (by the way i knew that thanks to the guys on this forum)and vwalla i got my TID mod out the way....cost me 10 bucks, hehe!


i get 12psi easily now......got rid of the air pump too! next up is the double pulley for the alternator. if you havent done the TID mod yet....i really recommend it! i know the intake pipes are pretty expensive like 75 bucks or so. maybe you can take a look thru the junkyard you might find one still in a car if your lucky. or maybe you can beat up a ricer dude and take it from him

omg did i just say that!

 

$14.99 for a 45 degree mandrel bent 3" ID aluminized pipe.

I bought a 90 degree bend to give ma a bit of flexibility on the bedn incase I wanted more or less... cost me $18.99

this bitch of it is, with tax, duty, brokerage, shipping, and canadian conversion, it cost me $55 to get to my door. still cheaper than buying a kit and getting the same thing.

 

You can also goto an exhaust shop that does mandrel bending and have them form spare peices into TID's.

 

good info guys! i'll keep that in mind for the future when i want a larger diameter pipe

 

i don't think there is an exhaust shop in atlantic canada that has a mandrel bender... those things cost a mint!

 

You could also go to the hardware store and get a 45 degree piece of PVC pipe.

 

Now you know how to make money .
