2 - 90* bends
1 - 45* bend
4 - 3" silicone couplers
8 - 3" t-bolt clamps


as for tools (this is all I used)

flathead screwdriver
1/4" socket set (for t-clamps)
sawzall (for cutting pipe, an exhaust cutting kit works well too)
dremel tool (to round out the sharp edges and clean up any debris)
small Pliers

If you guys are interested, I will be dismantling the intake tomorrow, I can take pictures of the "exploded" (dismantled) setup. It's really VERY easy. I never understood why anybody spent HUNDREDS of dollars on a filter and a couple pipes.
That would be great and i have a buddy that can make the 90's and 45's for us cheap, The 3" silicone couplers and clamps I have at work.

that would be cool. I think... PERHAPS, MNFocus should manufacture it's own CAI for sale to benefit the club!

I agree! That is an AWESOME idea! That can also end the debate over the never ending "which brand/type intake should I use"...you just say "DUHH, THE MN FOCUS ONE! It's the BEST!!!!"

Can he make a foot long pipe with a really short 90 at the end? Please let me know how much that would be.
