Hi, so I've been looking into getting a free flowing intake system and have found companies such a Snabb who make a direct fit 2.75 intake. But when looking at the pipe itself it looks pretty simple to make.
Ive made a parts list of 2.25 to 2.75 reducer coming off the turbo, 2.75 with T-piece (same as a BOV one) 90 degree 2.75 hose, 90 degree 2.75 pipe and a 2.75 joiner for the MAF and airfilter. These parts come to around £55 from a quick eBay search which is over less that the price of the off the shelf kits.

The only issue I am encountering is how to get the 2 extra barbs/nipples on there intake pipe, any suggestions?

Below is what I am trying to copy-

Thanks Claymore, I'll keep thos in mind.
I read a thread of someone doing something similar and using threaded barbs and tapping into the hose, screwing them in and sealing with some JB weld or something.
