Default DIY: Convert Weapon-R short ram into a CAI

ok well i bought a Weapon-R short ram intake about half a year ago.Now i want to extend it into a CAI.

My thoughts on this are as follows though.

1.buy a air bypass valve is a MUST.

2. where can i buy piping,or how can i get piping to extend it,to fit.

3. shoudl i put the filter into the wheel well OR put iot out inside of the front- side grill(or is that the same place?)

you can get silicone or rubber couplers from ebay that have bends in them and fromthere you can attach another piece of pipe onto the filter at theother end....

I would agree that after installing one, it really is nothing more than the DIY parts you seek. I can help guide you on cramming it into the fender well if necessary.
