Don't ever used compressed air on a K&N filter, either. Not even to dry it.
Don't over-oil it either. You can kill your MAF sensor (spendy) if you do. Follow the recharge kit instructions to the letter.

Mine is made of ABS piping 3 inch, and it hold up pretty well, no melting , form change,
i cover it with something to diffuse heat.

It'* affordable and worth it to just do it RIGHT. Check this out: http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...ic.php?t=46625
I'm all for saving money, but I don't understand how people can be so cheap sometimes. Spend money where it will make a difference, like on an intake. I mean it'* providing the most important thing to your engine (airflow) so why would you cheap out?

For those who adore Intense - even one of Intense'* crew uses a 'Home Depot' intake and runs 11'* so it will work.
Plastic material traps heat... Metal traps heat too...

I'd say ZZPerformance or Intense tubing is the way to go or the 'right' way to do things.
ZZPerformance/Intense (flexable) tubing > 'rice' pipe > not a well planned out PVC intake.
