I was thinking of having the whole intake being silicon not just the bend. Just wondering how much it would cost. I'm guessing it would be too much.

Doubtful you would be able to find one continuous length of silicone that would be bent in the exact angles you want. Your best bet is to get some straight 3" aluminum pipe and a few silicone bends and clamps and make your own pipe with the aluminum in between the silicone. It would also give it a little more strength as one continuous piece of silicone would be a bit soft in the middle i would imagine and may be prone to cave in on full throttle.

to give u an idea, my 90 degree bend cost me nearly 100$. why dont u just get the intake pipe from uas. last time i spoke to them they told i can get the pipe for about 200$. or like redline said your other option is to get bend's and join up aluminium pipes like what ive done.

Can i ask how big the diamitor is of the throttle body side and the intake side?
