PVC intake

[PinoyRacer]

Yea i know that this topic has been butchered and yes i did do a search. I just need to know if it is safe to put the pvc piece in place of the air baffles before the throttle body. i've heard that the pvc might melt and send harmful fumes into the engine. i've also heard that it will not melt and it will not harm the engine. Or should i just buy a whisper lid. All i need is a GO or NO. Thanks! [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]

do it the right way and buy the lid or the K&N aircharger.

Hey bro, its fine to use. ive been running mine that way for a year. its a deffinate improvement over stock. I have had no melting issues. Now the wisper lid is probably a little better but its also a lot more expensive. If you plan on buying an exhuast just do the pvc and save your money for the exhaust. i used a 3" pvc coupling for mine (its a little smoother and thicker pvc.

I'll get back to you, my cat died so had to gut it today. ill check tomorrow if i can remember. Also i cant remember if i got it at home depot or lowes so it might not be right, depending on which store you have near you.

Yes, as mentioned above, pVC will not melt. Even durring certain engine fires, it takes a lickin' & keeps on tickin'. And I used a whole lot more than your going to ;)
