Has anyone attempted to do this?? Making a template to fit the AFM, cuttin a 3 in hole in the middle, getting a 3 in pipe and welding them together??? Or is it not worth it and just buy the LIPP one. Could this one work as well?? Just tryin to save some $$$

I made my own in about an hour. Basic fabrication skills are needed as well as being able to weld.

Have any pics or is it just pretty much straight forward intake adapter? I dont know how to weld yet so I could do everything for fabricating it, but welding.

Its just a 1/8" steel plate with a 3" hole in the middle with a 3" pipe welded to it. And then I drilled holes in the plate to bolt up to the AFM. Its very straight forward.

Your telling me you would rather try and make one then spend the 10 bucks to get one already made nicely? thats seriously cheap! If you keep being cheap with your mods your not gonna get anywhere! I could see if it was like 100 bucks but its 10 dollars man

Whatever you do, don't use the air filter....... Junk junk junk.....
