Intake Tube Modification
Has anyone ever made a homemade intake tube and if so does anyone have any pictures? Is this something that will improve performance or is it just a waste of time? oh and by the way I have a 2000 ranger with the 3.0L in it. Thank you for any replies before hand.

I've seen a couple of how-to pages on the internet, although I can't find them now (big help, I know). You might dig around at The Ranger Station.
Power gains will be underwhelming, in my (admittedly limited) experience. I don't think it's a waste of time (unless you're one of those really, REALLY busy types), but don't expect to turn your truck into a rocket ship. It'll help some in the upper RPM range, less in the mid-band and not at all in the lower range.
On my 2002 I was content with pulling the air box silencer and insulating everything up to the throttle body. Did it give me more power? Possibly. But I still get whipped by my friend's Ram 1500. Sigh.
