Making my own CAI - just a few questions

1. Anyone know a cheap online site to buy a K&N cone filter for a custom CAI. Which one should I buy? Part #?
2. Also, when I am building my CAI, should I reduce the diameter of the intake pipe that connects to the throttle body in order to speed up the air? Is this effective, or should i keep a uniform pipe diameter throughout. Which pipe diameter is commonly used for the CAI? Where can i buy the manderel bent pipe?

keep uniform pipe diameter through out. I'd say 2.5" or 3". The size you use is gonna tell you which K&N cone filter you are gonna need to use.

It really doesn't matter what size since your engine is going to move as much air as it requires anyway. Just don't use less than 2.5".
