hey everyone. the snorkel intake tube on my s4 t2 has a rip in it. i have heard from other members that you can go to homedepot and buy the parts to make a new tid. has anyone done this before or know what parts to buy? im trying to keep the stock airbox also. thanks

you will probably have to ditch the airbox and go with a cone filter if you try to home depot it...

just hit up the classifieds for a used piece

 

there is no way to keep the factory air box?

 

If you want the home depot intake you will have to ditch the stock air box and go with a cone filter. I don't think there is any way to save the stock air box with a reasonably designed home depot setup.

Total cost for parts is around $20 + whatever cone filter you choose to use.
You will also need threaded pipe's to use as inlet's for the stock bypass valve and crankcase vent.

I used the following for my setup-

Black ABS sewer piping

2.5" - 3" rubber coupler
3" rubber coupler
1x straight peice of 3" pipe about 12 inches or so long
1x 45 degree 3" elbow with one side to allow to slip the straight peice into

Cut the straight peice to the appropriate length needed for your car and test fit the parts together.

I already had the threaded pipes at my shop to use, but you can find them at an auto parts store in the size you need for your tubing sizes.

Doesn't look pretty, but it gets the job done and saves me money for the other many parts that I need to buy.

 

^looks good, but hey you should turn your maf back to normal(not on its side)

 

yea, heard that the AFMs dont read right if you have them any other way.

 

It's on it's side because I couldnt get it to fit flat with the angle of the piping, not a big deal to me though.
I have it flipped so that the flapper door opening is facing downwards so it wouldnt cause much of a disruption in the reading from bumps and what not.
If the opening was facing upwards the door would bounce open/close from bumps.
Hasn't affected the car from sitting like that
