Default Air Intake

I have a 96 XJ. I am thinking of doing a do it yourself air intake. Most of the ones I have seen are $200. I found that if I get individual parts, I can make one at a way lower cost. What I need to know is what size fiter and hose should I use. The hose it has now is 3 inch. But if I put a 4 inch, will it make that much of a difference. The hole on the throtlebody is still only 3 inches. So does it matter?

dont go any smaller than the TB the motor is only going to take in as much air as it needs.

So you used the regular hose that it already had? That is what I was planning to do.
