QUICK Intake Question !

I bought a performance air filter yesterday. The inlet hole is 3" Diameter, but wouldnt fit my factory intake tubing..
So I removed it and the air box ( Plus the IAT Sensor> Intake Air Sensor)

The question is.. Can I drill a hole just before where I placed the filter ? Or could I buy 2,1/2" Steel piping and put an 'S' bend in it and place it over behind the Battery where the Air box 'Was' ?

As of right now, i removed the sensor from the factory intake, plugged it back in, and have it taped on the far side of my battery (Noob-ish of me:p )

Help would be much appretiated (My car is the 5-speed MAN) .

very dumb

:agree:

You want to use a STEEL pipe as an intake pipe?? Like wtf?.... here's another option... use pvc piping.... lol....

order the pipe from eBay, and get one that goes all the way to the throttle body instead of just the S-bend around the battery.

if you don't know a fabricator or shop that sells aluminum tubing or silicone couplers, get it online. either way, do it right

i pretty much told him the same thing already. told him to put it back together with the original parts and wait untill he can do it RIGHT.

Seems like Graham and Ion are the only people that give any useful information.
(From reading other posts, etc etc.. Others seem very rude, and almost like they have NO patients whatsoever.) For example "USE THE SEARCH BUTTON" Or "YOUR SO DUMB" instead of keeping their thoughts to themselves if the information cant be helpful.
Whats with people these days ? Like the second and third posts, get a life.
*Never heard of PVC piping.
Thank-you very much.
Oh.. and as for a.Graham52... I asked a Mechanic today, they told me just to drill a hole before where I have the filter and put the sensor there.. Why I was double checking. And whats the difference between my dads PLASTIC K&N intake tube on his hemi, and 3" steel piping ?

^ You know who you are ! Not aimed at the other nice guys on here*

you can just go to ur local auto store and get intake piping they make and intake pipe so that you do not have to drill the intake pipe.

im sorry, i think you are mistaking the "steel piping" as aluminum? steel piping is a very thick, strong metal, unlike aluminum piping.

Correct ;)

And steel rusts. And I'm pretty sure your engine won't appreciate having rust flakes run through it.

^ "Stainless" steel maybe ? like the exhaust... I dont think it rusts, I could be wrong

All metal corrodes, rusts, and oxidizes. Some more and faster than others.

do this for the intake.

sweet ! SleepyAlero, I was looking at that earlier, and I was wondering if my Garage up the street could make me an elbow piece like that, keep stock intake pipe, just put the filter where my airbox was.
They will probably charge me around $40...
EDIT: heineck, that looks like a killer deal ! I wonder if I can take my filter back to AutoParts and get me 31 bucks back :D

Just hold on to the filter. Never know when u might need another one. I have like 3 of em lol.
