generic intake tube (88 v6 3.0)---where,how $
my (newer) truck is rolling again, and the p.o. allowed the battery to break, and let the fan blow acid all over the engine bay
so
after all is said and cleaned, i still will need a new air intake boot. (original has been siliconed)
all availible (upwards 100 bucks +. ) will need to be shipped in (yes, that far away)
are there any places to get a cheap or generic one (can i fabricate one ?)
or, should i just wrap it in a roll of duct tape

I got mine from Home Depot... so it's pretty high end.
It's just the gray conduit for electrical service, 45 degree sweep. I wrapped it with header tape since I had some around... but ran it bare for 6 months without issue. The rubber ends are adapters from the plumbing aisle.

k if you go to the dealer you can get one of those air intake tubes for like 20bucks or under.
i work at a parts store and i have gotten one for a guy here.
and it was like 20 sumthin or under 20 i forget, but it was suprisingly cheap lol
but nice set ups there guys, they look pretty good

Hi Elvota, just wondering what is that part for? the one part that is beside the intake that has a wire on it. Thanks.

is this really a good idea?
Obviously it seems to work, but could there be any potentially harmful affects of using these, uh, creative customizations?
Not that Im knocking your work or anything (surprised i never thought of it first actually), but can anybody see any problems with this? ABS melting, cloth catching fire?
If not, its a Home Depot run for me!!

I have silicone connectors ment for turbo piping. And the ABS really dosnt get very hot.
It seals better then my stock one too.
Hey elvota, you get much sound from yours?

If it's the wire just out of frame to the right, that's from my ARB compressor.
Just make sure you attach any necessary fittings to your intake with no nuts or fittings on the inside that can rattle loose and suck into your engine.
For me, the brass nipples just threaded into the PVC. That stuff is very thick.
When I first put it on, I noticed a growl of sorts. I liked it a lot, but don't really notice the extra purr at this point.

I bought the hose at a hyrdaulic shop & paid way more than I should have for 18". I think $15. The connectors I got from True Value hardware shop. Just standard hose fittings that I drilled a hole in the hose & JB WElded them in. They're not going anywhere. There used to be a guy that sold a kit for $50 that he made out of exhaust pipe. Looked really sharp. You guys might check out the post on here for the intake mod. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f130...4runner-75167/

Yeah i have seen that thread b4
I have a really ugly set up on mine that definitely needs to be replaced
The person that wrote the thread you gave the link to...is he making them for sale ...?
personaly I like your set up the best. Do you think that a 3" 45* bend redius can be bought from a regular parts store like napa?

I've been trying to learn about "the connectors" for a while now... You are speaking of the brass fittings right? I CAN'T FIND THEM!!!
#17
thats what i am assuming too. the brass fitting you cant find???
They should be available from any hardware store in your area. Lowes,Ace,TrueValue,HomeDepot.....places like that.
Fredtheterd has the best looking one in my opinion. easiest to construct and the best looking i think.
I will be stopping my my parts store tomorrow to get the pieces together, I will let you know how it turns out
Thanks Fredtheterd !!!hahah
