I got a present from my uncle the other day,an umnitza intake.as he got one for his Mazda 3 Not my first choice but hey its free and looks really good however the stock pipe looks out of place and while i dont want it to look cheap i dont want to spend a kings ransom either(no sawing thru a K&N typhoon suggestions please)

Does anyone make a piece for this or anything like it?

Your help would be great

 

That's what I dont' like about it...it costs the same price as a whole intake, but all you get is a box and filter strapped to the ugly plastic and rubber tubeing. I think your gonna need a custom job. Maybe hit up your local muffler shop?

 

muffler shop wants $25 for a custom bent piece SWEET DEAL
Thanks for the advice

 

i know weapon r will bend them to but there are a bit pricy and make sure the muffler shop is doing mandrel bent

 

Sweet! Are they going to install it to, to make sure you have all the right brackets and that it has a proper seal? Or are they just giving you the bent pipe?

 

A muffler shop would use crush bends and it will be an ugly aluminized pipe.

Go on ebay and look through the intakes with similar bends as the ones on the tC stock intake. Or just an intake with a good amount of bends so you can cut the pipe. Ive made a lot of intakes for friends cars. As long as you have couplings (most kits come with 3-4).
Probably be the same price. Might be a little more because of shipping.

 

The muffler shop is only bending it so need to buy couplings and fit it myself .
I think buying a similar one from ebay is something to look into.

I like the looks of the umnitza box cos its not one of the scion intake trinity(Ingen/K&N/Weapon r) but i dont know about the power increase if any.

I will post some pics when I get this headache sorted out.

 

Nice thing w/ aluminized pipe is that you can take a bench grinding wheel w/ a polishing wheel and it will come out nice and shiny almost like stainless... just a poor mans view on a way to spiff up "ugly aluminized pipe"
