Anyone with a home built IC pipe set?
Not having modified a car in years, I'm thinking about gathering a set of IC pipes and creating a kit for my new CM S. Ordering from www.siliconeintakes.com was going to be my primary (maybe only) source.
I'm going to start by removing the pipes and drawing up a draft with the dimensions. Before I jump in, I was wondering if anyone has done this for an N14/N18.

I made my own hot-side pipe, just bought some 2" aluminum piping (from that same site) and some couplers. Pretty easy, just takes some time to fit it in right. I don't have a new pic, it's a better version now, but here is the original one.
I bought the cold-side pipe from JM Turbo Cooper. I was going to make my own, but it's a pretty tight fit and seems semi-difficult compare the to the hot-side, so I didn't really feel like dealing with all that. I'm also not as savvy as others, I don't weld or anything cool like that.
A couple other ideas for ya.
I did create my own cold air intake (needs better heat shielding) with aluminum pipes from that website as well. Cost was easily 1/3, or less, of what aftermarket companies charge and it does the same thing.
Fog light delete, cold air pipe:
