Anyone who knows Dale Isley, and saw how hard he worked on developing the TYMAR intake, takes exception to the use of "home made" and TYMAR in the same sentence. You can come up with a home made intake, but then it wouldn't be a TYMAR, since it's a registered brand name.
Now that I'm off my soapbox, I'll try to answer your question:
You can put together a home made intake by using a 45degree elbow, some hose clamps, and a big filter. Several will work, as long as it's got a 4" opening. Whatever you do, it'll work better than the stock airbox. However, it still won't be a TYMAR.

I agree with the above. If you didn't buy it from Tymar it's not a Tymar, it's a homemade open-element intake or whatever else you want to call it. I wouldn't call the do-it-yourself auxillary idle controller a homemade Ford idle controller and I wouldn't call a shimmed FPR a homemade California Regulator Kit. Similar, but not the same.

Napa 6637 air filter $26.00
Old 4inch stainless exhaust pipe laying in the corner of the garage. Free
4 inch pcv pipe seal at local hardware $2.79
Spent your money how you like but less than $30 and a half hours work sounds great to me. Yes I know its not a "tymar" but it still doesn't the same thing. Filter air a whole lot better than the factory air box.

Tymar? No. Didn't like the filter. K&N? I like. Ordered a RC-4780 ($48.93) and will get a 45 degree 4" pipe from the local truck parts dealer. I think 200 bucks for $65.00 worth of parts is High in my book. I'll post a picture once I get mine installed.

johnsdiesel- you know I like my K&N and will fight for it till the end. 
I personally like the oiled elment better, more proned to catch dirt, and I'm not buying a new filter when it needs to be cleaned as you have to do with the Tymar.
