6637 Intake tube

I'm sure its not just me that thinks that the factory intake tube is ugly. I've heard of people getting tubing for it but cant find a thread anywhere.

What kind of tubing, bend, and length do I need to replace the factory tube?

Get with Deluxe06 on here, he made one for his truck. I asked him if he would be able to make one for myself, he said it would be a bit. I think Clay should look into getting these mass produced because I would buy one. Ur right the stock intake tube is ugly. I would make one for myself but I dont know how to weld or have the machinery to do it.

I think he used 4" exaust pipe and some 90's and 45's and welded it up then ground it down. I plan on making a couple myself!

Clay was selling them at one point, he wasn't able to make them cost effective enough so he dropped them.
