has anyone ever thought of trying to make a sheet metal intake? i was just sitting on the toilet and got to thinking.... why arent there any real performance intakes for us. then i remembered that i had heard of people making intakes out of sheet aluminum. has anyone ever thought of trying to mak one themselves? well if i can get a spare upper intake then i think i may try to do it myself with a little help from my grandfather. he used to be a machinist and he did hillclimbs on motorcycles. he used to make a lot of parts himself

There was a company a while back who was making metal ones, or at least starting to fab them up.

Hogans could build one but you'll probably spend 2000-4000 on it....building a sheetmetal intake isnt near as easy as it sounds, atleast not a good one...<b>Black</b> 1998 Pontiac <i>Firebird</i> A-4 swap<br />271.4rwhp/259.4rwtq NA<br />13.30@102.44 <br /><a href=\"http://www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98\" target=\"_blank\">www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98</a>Comment
