The mystery of the prize.
autozone sells a cheap ricer aluminum mandrel bent intake tube for civics/integras, it works just fine with some tweaking.
If you have access to a welder you can get even more creative with the aluminum tubing, in this setup I used the aforementioned autozone tube:

I went to Home Depot and bought some 3" ID pipe and just bent it as necessary... but I think it looks kinda ricey... which is too bad because I spent several dollars and close to an hour of time to get it to work lol...
-If you wanna look cool, paint the stock intake piping like iridescent purple or neon green or something.

i think i've seen some setups that are all metal from the afm to the throttle body, but they were all custom made. no one really produces such a setup that i know of.

I have a question about using the metal pipes:
I wanted to replace the hard plastic piece that is pretty much brown on all our cars that connects the elbow after the TB to the MAF. But when I was going to replace it with a metal piece, there were like 2 or 3 plugs on the underside of that tubing. Where do I put these if I convert to metal piping?
