What? You would eat that cake? Ouch! That would hurt him.

Blugg - I used sheet metal. Some flashing I picked up at the local Home Depot. Rolled it around the TT vent to get the shape and used pop rivets to keep it in a tube form. I don't remember how I ended up measuring length, but they do connect directly to the stock air supply...oh yeah, I kind of remember another detail...I cut the backs off of the stock vents and riveted them into the tubes as well so it would fit into the stock supply.

Painted the tubes black and adhered some real carbon fiber around the outside of the tubes where the tube was exposed.

I have pictures on my home computer somewhere.

I remember someone using a pvc pipe a long time ago, but I think they ended up cutting the stock surround so they were a little more straight...I decided I wanted them to be fully functional, but didn't want to destroy the surround, so they are a little torqued...I don't mind it though.
