Make your own man. I bought a 4" 45* pipe, and a 4" 45* coupler, then threw a K&N long filter on it. I got $90 in it total. Nothing against the shops that sell these intakes, but man, they are way overpriced. My intake required no welding, just cutting of the pipe, and coupler if you wanna show more polished pipe.

Did you have to cut the metal pipe or the rubber one?

Ill tell you now, if you buy the STM intake, you WILL need to cut the metal pipe and the coupler to get it to fit

I read that, I just wasn't sure if the ACD pump would be the culprit.

I used two 4" 45* silicone couplers and a little piece of 4" aluminum tubing to connect them.

By 4" do you mean diameter or length?

What is the length I should get? I think I want to try to make one. Hopefully I can get one that's already gunmetal color

No **** genius. It would be nice to have the length of pipe he used. That's why I wrote what I wrote for clarification since this "IS" the internet.
