Default Intake Horn

Does anyone have the dimensions on the intake horn? My truck is two states away so I cant just walk outside and pop the hood. I'm playing with the idea of building my own since I have access to machine tools, but darn the luck I don't have the measurements.

What kind of intake were you planning? I could get some measurements, but probably not to the tolerance you need for machining..

I got to thinking about it and I should probably just wait until I get home and can get everything myself. I was thinking something along the lines of an arcflow but out of exhaust tubing or something similar. If I get really ambitious I might work something up like the twin ram that banks offers. It is just something I can play with and maybe powder coat for looks.

Pretty much exactly like that. What size tubing did you use?

Thanks DangerDmax

3" ehxuast pipe
1/8" bungs welded in on the back
1/2" bungs for the water/meth nozzles
1 tab for the oil fill

Darryl Poole has a tool to put a ridge in the end of the pipe so the IC boot doesnt fall off thats why it looks a little long and the pic doesnt show the ridge.

I didn't figure there would be much change but it looks way better than the stock piece, plus all the goodies you can pump through it.
