N/A intake duct mod. Worth it?

Would it be worth replacing the ducting from the intake to TB with PVC or ABS plastic? I'm bored and want a small project.

You want $25 for the entire blue part? What is between the blue piping & the cone filter? I am interested in it cuz I'm looking to make everything blue under the hood. Thanks.

Nice intake work, but I have a slightly different design in mind. But you DID notice a difference?

And YES, I'll get more pics when I get a hold of a better digi cam

yeah i was hoping to get $25 for the adaptor,piping,adaptor,and elbow. and i was hoping to get $75 for the whole ported and polished intake manifold with injectors etc..

yeah i match ported the upper intake to the plenum, and also did the TB mod and polished the thing up pretty nice..

i also will sell my 2.5" straight pipe thats manifold to catback. how about.. uh $75.. i'm sure there is something else i am forgetting but that is the main stuff..

hey

do you still have the intake manifold. I striped mine when I put the acv plate on. Is that ported and polished all the way through. Im going to buy one off this guy soon but he is charging 400 dollors for the entire intake tract. I dont want to buy everything from him but might if nowone else has any.
