Default Build for home made intake pipe

I am needing to put together a custom intake for my new TB and manifold.
The TB is top mount 3" outlet. Is going inside 2001 bb6 engine compartment.

What I was thinking was running a 90º elbow off the TB, then running a pipe to near the passenger side of the vehicle then putting on the BPI stack with the AEM filter.

What I need is a shop or place that can offer me the aluminum piping and 3"-3" couplers and clamps I will need. Suggestions are welcomed, all I find on ebay with 3" aluminum and 3" silicone is few pipes I might actually have a use for.

muffler shops my good friend. they would have everything you need and even be able to bend stuff for you.

on the couplers.... i hate to say it but i suggest "autozone" untill you order some good ones from the net best of luck.

Agreed. The "home-made" term is used loosely. Make sure you have a bender and welder. Dur Duh Dur.

Ive even heard you can use PVC piping to get that job done.

Would you mind posting pics of your new TB. It seems like it would be hard to get all that under the hood of a lude. Maybe thats not an issue, but I would be interested in seeing what you have going on.

Likesay hopefully come mid January we can release it to the public, expect 300 for the manifold ported and anodized, 300 for TB also

If you want to pass out you can. PVC piping creates toxic gases when heated to the degree of an engine compartment.
