Aluminum piping (custom bent) if you have a little money, stainless steel if you're rich and home depot if you're poor.

i was gonna do this too. what kind of pipe does home depot sell anyway? and if you went this route, how would you rig up the vaccume hoses, since you wouldnt have the little hose bungs?

not sure just drilling would accomplish what i am talking about.see the little plugs sticking off of the pipe on the left for vacume hoses? i cant think of a cheap way to do this out of home depot parts.

about $10-$15 at home depot buying 3" PVC piping, not including any elbows or connectors, then you've gotta drill holes for the vacuum tubes and get fasteners for the intake.

$20 would be a lot less hassle.

Believe me, I've tried home depot and sometimes its just not worth it to do all that work when someone buys 10,000 intakes from china and sells it for cheap.
