Air Intake Tube

[Wayne]

Hello :

Any recomendations on where to buy an air intake tube for a round air box on a 258? They last two I purchased did not last long and they are expensive.

OR

Anyone modifying an air tube?

Also how important is the tube, does the air box and filter get enough air without it?

Thanks.

That tube when installed in the grill should give you better cooler air than under the hood air intake right above that baking engine. Cold air intake is always better than heated under the hood air which is hot.. I get mine on the left.

The right side.

Into the intake.

I know these are not round, but the tube that’s rectangular is lasting

Spectre makes some round tubes also. I bought several of their items to fab something together but didn’t use them.

Pretty good quality.

My bad everyone - i did a poor job explaining, the air filter canister on my 8 is round and I do use the rectangle air tube.It

Make sense what you say about sucking cold (outside air) as opposed to not having one and sucking hot air from under the hood when the engine is running.

As I mentioned the last two i got did not last long - where is a good place to buy one the lasts awhile?

ThankYou.

What about spraying it with a type of spray on bedliner?
