What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

I just tighten shit till it don't turn and give it a few more turns [emoji1745]

Like they used to do on a Civil War tourniquet. I like your style.

You just have to learn to go slow and feel for the point where it starts to go soft, right before the head twists off.

No double entendres here. None at all. My mind is not wondering in the least.

If the eBay tube is cheap enough that an extra coupling and clamps is in the budget, or if you already had the tube and wanted to attach it to the stock filter box (to not have a HOT air intake) you could cut it where that bend is downstream of the MAF, rotate it 180°, and couple it back together. After this, rotating the rest of the tube on the throttle body upward would probably put that other end at just about the right angle to hit the factory filter box. You could always shave the cut part to get the angle spot-on.

I guess if you the angle perfect, you could epoxy it together then Plasti-Dip, rubber undercoat or sand and paint the whole thing to make it a one-piece tube.

That sounds like a lot more work than the $38 worth of PVC elbows and pipe I'm snagging from Home Depot tomorrow.

I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't catch myself on that one.

Word. I was thinking more of the guy that's cleaning out his garage one Saturday morning and finds such a tube and has the time to kill. Probably more times than I'd like to admit, I'm that guy. It always starts out as a simple modification but so easily snowballs into a polished turd.

But the pride you feel after....

Yup. This is what I was thinking too.

Yes. And often times this is plenty justification and worth it. Speaking for myself, I don't always do something the easiest way as it's usually financially required for me to do it the hard way (making vs. buying). I focus more on the "Just wanted to see if I could" or "I wanted it to be my own design" or "I already had the parts laying around" aspects.

Not to stray too far into the boring and off topic, but to me, that's exactly why Youtube (and other places) is so bad for humanity. No longer do we have to use ingenuity. Just Youtube it. We'll all look like the people from Wall-E.
