Default new cheap intake for tc,

i went to super autobac, the other day, and was ____ed about not getting a intake, well i walk around the corner and found pieces, a build your own intake they had all the pieces even the piece for the mass air sensor, it cost a total of around $70 and looks good, if anyone wants help i will help you out with the kit,

this one is plastic, i know how the weapon r one is made but it is a short ram , and preety much does the same as any short ram you will get and at less then half the cost, if you dont like, then get something else i just put something else out there because the stuff now is over priced, or in development,

hey buddy hate to pop ur bubble, but i had a cheaper intake and it's 1/7 the price of yours. i removed the tube that takes air into the stock air box, went over to home depot to buy my self a 3inch vent tube and attached it to the end of the stock airbox. which i think it's better than a short ram, because not only my air filter is at the same spot as the short ram, i also have cold air sucking in from my lower grill... and it only cost me $10... haha... well just felt like sharing...

oh and my tube is not plastic by the way....
