well, it's really up to how the op wants to approach this. a diy'er can easily come up with a piece that will cost less than even half of what companies are charging. for something as simple as a sd intake, i'd rather come up with a solution myself since there are no fancy flanges or anything that need to be fab'd up, like the factory recirc tube.

Ok, yea, an aluminum pipe is different from another aluminum pipe. When talking about a mere intake pipe, I dont think it matters. 
And fyi, I had to stretch the coupler, because the fp 84mm housing is larger than 3", but no quite 4". I did not see a 3.5" 45* coupler, so I figured I would stretch the 3".
Sorry for not supporting jmfab and your vendors by suggesting he saves some money on something so simple as an intake. I think I got about $60 into my intake. Seems to work, just like any other intake.
I will agree, Binky's looks good. Whats that cost from English racing?

I already have the couplers and the filter, just need the pipe. I was looking for one that just fits and puts the filter in the stock location. I have an intake that's just one 45 but it hits the lower rad. hose. As stated I don't have a weldor and would rather just make one if I know it aol fit 100% but the cost of a lot of ss.4" 45 degree pipes and welding it is close to $100 or a little less right there, and plus the time is a factor to me.
There's no way I would want to go lower in size than the intake of the turbo (3.25") if I'm going through the trouble of making one. Buy once buy it right. I might have to hit up ER
