Let's make an intake!

Has anyone here attempted to make a custom full intake piece (specifically for the 2Gs?)

I'm interested in doing something like <A HREF="http://www.globalserve.net/~mitchellj/lorim1a.jpg">this</A>. (Not sure who's car this is, I just had the pic on my computer)

Looks to me like it's <A HREF="http://www.jumptronix.com/2g_go_faster/images/GoFaster/Articles/CheapUpperIC/Brode_Whole_Pipe.jpg">the same 2.25" 45 degree JC Whitney exhaust section that Dave Brode uses in his UIC pipes</A>, but I'm not sure what that upper part that attaches to the MAS is.

So, does anyone have any ideas?

I'm open to anything at this point... but I'd like to do this without hacking up the stock intake (and cheap! )

Oh, I also meant to ask if anyone has the part number for the JC Whitney 2.25" exhaust section?

He told me the following in an e-mail, but didn't give me a part #.



Anyone with a J.C. Whitney catalog out there that can help me out?

Thanks,

Jeff Mitchell

I just bought that upper intercooler pipe from Brode and it was easy to install and increased seat of the pants response by 10 or 15hp. If you put a nice coat of paint on it sure looks nice under the hood! It was 76US shipped to your door.(no taxes,duty)

Yeah, I have the Brode UIC pipe too. I had Marco weld on an HKS flange for me, so I could use an HKS SBOV that I had laying around (not a fan of the 1G BOV). I will probably install an SSBOV someday (shiny parts make you go fast ). I definitely felt the difference. The turbo seems to spool up much sooner now (like in the 2k rpm range), and it feels sick in first and second (still dies at the top of 3rd 4th and 5th).

Anyways, Dave Brode posted a few links to places that sell aluminum bend similar to the JC Whitney one in the last digest so I'm going to check them out and see if I can't find something similar to play around with.

If only the MAS wasn't such an odd shape...
