4 Inch Intake Pipe
I have read just about everything thread on this subject, but I have yet to find a good place to purchase a 4 Inch Intake Pipe. Looking for polished to match the A&A IC to TB charge pipe.
Anyone?

You should look into a 4" carbon steel sch 80 pipe. Those are strong and durable.

Planning on doing this upgrade too. Lots of selection on Amazon, but wasn't sure if I should go 45 or 60 degree bend to keep the filter below the radiator cover. Haven't had a chance to measure anything yet.

Columbia Mandrel Bending offers 4" but not polished.. That along with a 6" cone Airaid track day filter works very very well...

I had Tick Performance build me a 5" intake out of aluminum to use on my F1X. Had to get custom air filter from AFE but they made it in 5 days and it fits perfect.

This is the one I bought for my setup, I had mine powder coated black but was polished when I got it. I am not sure if I can post a link but here you go.

As promised...
The following pipe works with the A&A Kit and Dewitts cutdown. Fit and finish is perfect. Will post pictures later.

I'm the process of buttoning everything up. Had to trim 1/2 inch off the longer side of the pipe so the radiator cover would fit. Pictures coming soon.

looks great
... might be a good idea to have your tuner look it over to see if anything needs to be adjusted

Took it for a drive, looks like it leaned out a bit. Thank god for Wideband O2 and Hptuners
Intake noise also seems to be a tad louder.

looks good, I like how it is below the radiator cover! Should get better air that way.

I went to a muffler shop and had them make me one out of 4in piping they had for diesel trucks, then just painted it black... Cheap and easy
