You can take a look at my intake assembly:

I just finished changing it around this morning (the one above was
rubbing on A/C lines all over the place. It's a neat design, but I
didn't like how it rubbed. I'll post the Intake #2 tonite or tomorrow
so keep checking back.

The new one, uses:
(1) 3" soft elbow
(1) 3" medium turn 90deg. elbow,
~1.5ft of black PVC (buy 2ft just in case)
(1) 1/2" funny pipe fitting
~2ft of 1"x1/8" aluminum flat stock, (used to make a mounting bracket)
(1) 3-5" pipe clamp (used to fasten intake assy to mounting bracket)
Cost should be around ~$15 for PVC stuff and ~$50 for filter.

Oh and make sure you order a K&N filter that has a 3.5" opening.

BTW, this is for the 4.7L engine.
