Default 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?

maybe check here, http://www.siliconeintakes.com/alumi...fb182040a1b4b5 ... you might also have to cut it to fit perfect but that isn't a big deal... then add a filter, a&a and dallas performance make nice ones

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.

Does the radiator cover still fit on with that pipe?

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.
