I’ve made several CF intake pipes from blue construction foam melted away with acetone before getting into 3D printing. If you printed the pipe in ABS (221F glass transition temperature) I think you would be ok. Air is constantly moving though it that would also have a cooling affect. Nice build project.
Thanks for the advice, I need to get back in this project!
I will most likely never own a 3D printer but getting a shape for a part serves me two ways as grandson need cast replace frequently during his life. We hang as I work on my "LS" & 67 C10. Very interesting! I know that these Chinese polished aluminum cold air kits are simple gaining heat. Wrong material as they look cool, but if they check temps on the pipe, they would find heat gain as it is heat soaked.
I enjoy learning at any age as I was holding tech seminars for GM in upper Midwest. Thanks.

Did you try insulating the front of the overflow tank to keep the heat from radiating onto the cool air tubing?
I personally haven’t, but I know some guys out there have. It’s definitely something to consider, nice thing about the carbon fiber is that it’s way less heat conductive then metal is
Hi, would you sell the exhaust angle pieces you printer? I’m interested
Hey Vammy, they are free on thingivers all you need is a 3D printer here is the file

Is the inside of the pipe smooth? Rough? If so, can you give a description about how smooth or rough it is?
Hey, it’s definitely textured inside the tube, feels like a arm cast would feel, I haven’t tried but you could probably sand it smooth. I don’t think the slight texture is enough to effect performance
@@dgpgarage9291 I think you can brush on some epoxy and sand as needed. I might look into doing this honestly.
@@jleo92488 let me know how it goes! I’ll be revisiting this soon, I just ordered some carbon fiber sleeves
Where did you get the orange plastic mockup pieces? I have a 4” intake tube I need to build.
I 3D printed them, this guy makes a 3”, haven’t seen a 4” yet, but if your handy you can scale the 3” in a cad program and print as many as you’d like

Could you make me one for a 94 Crown Victoria
If I had one to test on sure
