Who developed their own air intake system? Why aren't more folks doing this?

Bumping old thread, but I found these on ebay. Ram dual intake, nice aluminum pipe and quite a bit cheaper than the OEM plastic pipe.

Its a good idea for the non-supercharged M113 but the y piece needs to angle forwards slightly rather than be completely straight. Easy enough to have a fabricator cut and weld one.

Think I am going to do this on my c43 nice setup! I would wrap the aluminum pipes though because they will heat up!

For those who did make their own, what did you do, how and did it work for you?
I got the 2 carbon fiber air filters on ebay for $ 80 then the carbon fiber elbows on amazon for $110 , the 2 aluminum tubes for $80 that connect to the intake scoops $100 + 4 silicone 3" adapters for $ 30


, so $400 but you really don't need the scoops ( i just got them for looks) so for the actual intake system- scoops = $ 300

Very impressed with this Forum! this is my first post is it OK to ask on this thread for someone to build and completed mod for Air intake like @Dasauto? I am sure i could do it myself but rather have someone else assemble it and i just throw it on..........I'll post a few pictures of my car in the picture thread!

Thanks!!!
