Ok here's the deal. My stock intake tube rotted long ago, so I have had to make due with some cheap plastic flex tubing. I need to fix this problem, especially since as we all know the diameter of the exit off the MAF sensor is different than the Intake Mainfold. So has anyone tried to make a custom one from silicon tubing?? I was thinking that it would be the best way to go, OEM part is like $150 from toyota, and finding one at a junk yard is all but impossible. If anyone has done it can you send me a diagram of your model, I know I need at least two different sized couplers, then the actaual tube part, probably 2 45 degree bends cause if I remember right, the old tube was "s" shaped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I got a spare. its not 100%, I used it for 10 months no problems but in the folds/ripple things u can see th eplastic gettign small cracks when you bend it. Ipretty confident they do not go through, and I put some RTV silicome over just to be sure. If your interested let me know
I'd just buy a 45 degree mandrel bent tube and put an adapter [2.5"] on one end of the tubes..i can post a pic if you want.
seriously get an intake from ebay...they are ridiculously cheap and come with a filter, adapter and a perfectly bent intake tube with silicone adapters.....you really can't lose
