Default here are the pics of the set up for the home made intake

here are the pics

I had the option of an 8 inch or 12 inch drain pipe in 1 1/2 inch Inside diameter I chose the 12 inch cause if I want it shorter I can cut it. ( From what I have seen at least 8 inches is what is recommended) I went stainless because I think it looks cooler and no rust to worry about.
I ended up going with a 1 1/4 inch rubber coupler same size on both sides because the sink drain wall thickness is thinner and wouldn't fit a 1 1/2 coupler snuggly.
The Uni filter fit right to it and both clamp down nice and tight.

Then it is just attached to the carb.

It will have to be supported but every kart is different so that will have to be a decision made by the kart owner for what works best for them.
