For those of you looking for an inexpensive alternative to the aftermarket this is what I came up with. Here is a list of components and prices.

1 - DAYCO hose # 71593 fits 92'-96' Dodge Dakota lower hose $14.69
4 - Hose clamps @ 1.23 $4.92
1 - 1 7/8" O.D. x 1 3/4" I.D. x 1 1/8" long Exhaust Tubing $2.00
22" - 7/16" I.D. Gas Line & 2 hose clamps $4.10
1 - 7/16" Hose Barb Fitting $4.00

Yup, looks functionally like the $95 Evilution hose I just bought.

Does it come in blue?

...even though we know you can gain some HP by venting somewhere else is nice to see you kept it clean...

Looks good ,neat idea to revent into airbox and the price is right. What
kind of performance increase did you get from this modification.
