DIY intakes?

DIY intakes?
Are there any sites that sell sections of air intakes so you can peice together your own? I ask because the fenderwell intake from intense could work for me, but their intake tubing is 3.5" and my TB is 3". I also have an inline MAF sensor so I'd have to beable and do that too. Idealy I'd need to do it like this: 3" tube with 70* angle. coupler. MAF sensor. coupler. straight 3" diameter tube about 4" long with hole for IAT, filter. I was also thinking maybe a kit that'd work on the Series III since they also have an inline MAF, but I cannot find the diameter of their intakes. I've found a fenderwell intake for my engine, but it'* for W bodies and I'm sure it wouldn't work well at all for a G body.

this is the only place i could find in a quick lookaround http://www.roadraceengineering.com/mandrelbends.htm they seem kinda expensive.
a local exhaust shop could work with you on anything 3 inch...possibly bigger depending on the place...but no place around here would work with anything custom larger than 3 inch...so you might check around there.

could you use the rice pipecut it to length and then cut it again in the Middle so you would have 2 pieces, one straight piece and the one with the bend.....then use 2 couplers and put the Inline MAF between the two pieces of pipe? If you want an example of an Inline MAF on a aftermarket intake look at the 00 Blazer/S10 4.3L intakes...that should give you an idea on how to do it

If you have a Pep Boys locally, check them out. Mine has a TON of stuff to fab up a custom intake, some examples of what they have can be seen here:

The local pricing is better than the ones shown on the site too.
