I'm looking for a metal tube... (to replace plasic cheap intake tube on my n/a)



Anyone know where i can find one? or will i have to get a "honda" one?



I hate the look and functionallity of the stock intake tube.. ("plastic" it sucks



Markus





----------I assume the stock tube (plastic) is 3 inches right? so if i find a 3 inch (diamater) aluminum or metal hose/tube. will it fit? work better than plastic?

A friend of mine just went to a muffler shop and had them bend a piece of 3 inch stainless pipe then with some nifty home depot rubber fittings, done! I really like the way it sounds too, the turbo seems so much louder you can hear it whistle over the exhaust.



If you want to see a picture I'll post one
