i have seen pictures of "aftermarket" intakes on some of the 914's here and was just wondering a few things:

1. are these home-made or bought somewhere?
2. how do you connect all the vacuum hoses to an aftermarket one?
3. any pics?

this is what im kinda goin for:

(i know its a bmw, but its got the straight pipe and filter that i want)


Would this work? Please post some pics if you've done this "mod"
Thanks!

Here's another look. I found the rubber coupler to be a good part of the component becasue it was easy to drill and use press-fit hose barb squeezed tight into the flat side (I re-used OEM piece, but you could buy hose barb ends) and it allows for vibration dampening of the long assembly, which gets tossed around a lot.
