What material is the intake piping made from? Can I buy it anywhere say like home depot or crappy tire. I've been sitting at home doing less that T-dot (if that's possible), and I need a job to pass time.

It's normally just aluminum.

Everything you need for homemade intakes.... I ordered from them before, just beware, the duty charges suck hard!

Just go to a exhaust shop and have them cut a peice for you.

My friend at work just went to an exhaust shop and bought 3" tubing and had it bent the way he needed for his grand am, then just bought a filter. :D

How easy/difficult is it to bend?

You'll need a pipe bender....try and get a few 45' and 90' degree bends. Ususally you can play with those and figure a good fitting.

Anybody know where you can buy those rubber connnectors they use on the Intercooler piping? :unsure: You can use those to connect the bends with some o-clamps (I have no clue whatthey're called)
