Modified Air Box - You won't believe the source of part

I've wanted to modify the airbox on my 97 900 SET (just turned 100 thousand miles) for some time but haven't had a reason to go to the building supply store.
Friday my water heater broke, flooding the utility room. I decided to move to a larger size requiring a 4" flue. That left me with a few feet of 3" flue pipe and the reducer (4" to 3") that had been in the sytem before. You guessed it! I cut to neck off the air box, used a rotary rasp to remove enough material for an interference fit with the 3" pipe, cut the pipe with the reducer on the intake end to the same length as the old restricting plastic, and sealed the whole thing with duct tape on the pipe and rubber electricians insulation tape where the pipe enters the air box. Took less that 1 hour and makes a noticeable difference, particularly at over 3,000 rpm. Almost made me forget the cost of the new waterheater.
