i mean, its a curved pipe with a air filter on the end, i cant see myself paying $300 for an aem for only a few hp (im really just in it for the sound ) so has anyone made their own?

well it seems like what your looking for is, sound, low costs, and not sacrifice power.
gut the air box, chop off the resonator, and seal the hole. check, check, check!

best option is probaly to gut the stock airbox, and insulated it (which gernby has data on in the official intake thread),and try to find a used ebay snorkel or something.

i've been thinkin about ebay cai with the blox velocity/filter i think this would be a pretty good setup and relatively cheap.. only thing is im not sure of the piping is 3" or 2.75 and im really looking for 3" + this would most likely result in great results/sound..

It's ironic you say that, because I believe EMS costs around 1000 dollars? I think the OP's intention was to save money. lol.
And on that note, if he does get tuned, most of the power that would be found, would not be solely attributed to the intake.
to OP: You CAN make anything yourself. But don't forget about all the lines that need to be incorporated. Don't forget, when you pay for a 200 dollar intake, you're usually buying CARB legality too.
