Google "Brake duct hose" or look at it at Pegasus Racing's catalog...here

I ran my inline four VW intake with this hose.  It goes up inside the right
rear pillar and I turned it 180 degrees in there at the top to keep water
from the filter, which is in the normal vanagon spot.   So I get cool
intake air, not hot stuff from the engine compartment.  You could locate a
filter up there also...easy access by removing the outer plastic grill.
