Does anyone make a pipe and elbow to replace the stock intake tube going from airbox to throttle body? 2002 8.1. The stock intake tube has that big goofy looking piece of plastic that drops down by radiator, that has to hinder airflow to the throttle body. I would like to keep my stock airbox if possible.

This is what i did, but eventually went to a cone filter. Got a 90* elbow from siliconeintakes.com. I think it was 4'' on one side and 3.5'' on the other...but not positive. then a straight coupler for the MAF and a 3.5 piece of pipe, ran right to the airbox. Drill 7-10 holes in the bottom of the airbox. But now I just have elbow, maf, HUGE cone filter. Seems to work much better this way. Lots of compannies make CAI's for these trucks, but they are a little pricey at times

The only one i've seen that comes with a new tube is the k&n but I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole

got any pics ender?

got any pics ender?

THAT right there is a SWEET deal!!! Someone needs to hop on it!

I would like to see picture of your intake also ender.

I found a complete intake system with dry filter i am gonna try and the price is not bad either.

Why bother, it won't help much. The factory intake flows more than enough air to support that motor with the stock intake and throttlebody...

I know the Duramax intakes are superior, but I could tell a big difference on my 8.1l. It is actually the ONLY vehicle I have put one on and noticed any change at all!

im with ya Ender, all i did was "swiss cheese" the heck out of the stock box(headlight and fender side), got a dry filter, and replace the tube (any box auto part store)....this made a drastic improvement in throttle response.

I would get a pic if the temp would get higher than 16* haha

I got my cold air intake on my truck tonight, throttle response is alot better. I bought my intake kit from bills custom intakes, and fit and finish is awesome and priced right also. 4" tube from throttle body to air filter. Pm me your email address and i will send u a picture of the kit on my truck.
