For $39 plus shipping, I think you can make one for cheaper.

Go to Home Depot and find the parts.

What do they have at home depot thats an aluminum 90 degree snorkel with a bung? Show me how I can make that with just Home Depot stuff without looking ghetto.

Unless you have a LT1, you don't need the bung in the elbow.

I bought a grain vac hose and hooked it straight to the throttle body(4") and then attatched my filter at the end(I have a speed density set-up)

Unless you are really far from a Home Depot(or similar store), just go and look around.

An elbow that is 4" will work

What set-up do you have?

I need the oblong snorkel like that one since I have a stock TPI throttle body. I plan on running the tube down below the front drivers fender for a cold air setup. I like the idea of the bung so I can relocate my IAT sensor. At least you didnt say a dryer hose. This seems like it will have more show looks than what you mentioned.
