Default DIY intake..?..

I was just wondering where to find and what type of piping to use to connect the throttle body and the cone filter? Please dont flame...I tried the search and it returned nothing.
Thanks..

i got mines for 35.00...you can even get cai from 40 - 70.00 on ebay..you're better off getting a knock off because it comes with all the hardware like the filter...and clamps and them rubber things that are used to connect to the filter and your throttle body...

i dont really believe in buying a intake for 200 buck, what is that going to give you? 5-6 hp max.
ebay cai and intake are fine in my dictionary.
mine is custom made too..i used those ebay intake tube and weld it together.
the other end is right behind the bumper cover, which have a vent in front of it.
dont go cheap on the filter tho'

go to a muffler shop if you want the piping, that how i got mine a looooong time ago on my crx when air filters w/piping were $150+++

but jsut get an ebay one, they are cheap $30 bucks.

or you can just get a drop in knn which some say works better and drill holes on the bottom of your stock air filer box.

me, my engine/exhaust is stock with the expection of spark plug wires cause i needed to replace them

i think its aluminized mild steel

a straight CAI with no bends and 3" on my H22a feels AMAZING, crazy throttle response and a great sound

i need to fabricate something for IC to TB pipe but im using the h22 TB on the f22b1. the battery is relocated as well.


Im developing something a bit on my own to help mix air/fuel but for it to work i need the TB side of my intake to be alumn cuz the SS doesnt work as well.
