I've been looking at all the different intakes and posts on the cold air intakes for the 4.0 OHV and I would really rather not spend the $200 for one. So I took measured things under the hood and have been thinking up an intake made out of 3 inch PVC. I would think this would flow better then the stock intake and keep the air colder due to the thickness of the plastic compared to the metal on the aftermarket intakes.
Secondly I've been thinking of taking the stock maf sensor out of it's housing and mounting it (Still thinking up this part) to the pvc. I wasn't sure if this would allow more air to flow through or not over the stock maf.
Lastly if I was going to mount the maf sensor into the pvc I've been thinking of maybe having 4 inch pvc from the end of the radiator to the filter, so the maf sensor would be in 4 inch plastic instead of 3, don't know how this would affect my ride.... Figured I'd see what everyone had to say about it...which I would imagine will be along the lines of "Stop being cheap buy an intake" but I don't wanna, I like thinking this crap up and building it...
