i was thinking about the tube between the TB and intake manifold and it looks like it would cause the air flowing through to be more turbulent so i decided to change it. i had some exhaust flex pipe laying around and some connectors so i made this . after i put that on i hooked everything back up and it seems to fit well and look better.
i haven't taken it for a drive yet but i'll post later on how it drives and if i notice any pros/cons about it.

 

well took it for a drive and i think i made it too long.. time to bring out the dremel and see how it turns out

 

How did u get it to stay up and not bounce around without the mounting brackets?

 

it's a lot stiffer now but i'll make a bracket for it once i get everything set in place. plus the air filter is resting on the wheel well

 

That seems like it's a little small in diameter.

 

it's actually the same size as the inside of the stock tube

 

It probably looks like a smaller I.D. because there aren't bellows sticking out that serve no purpose.

 

That could be it, I was like damn that thing is small.

 

yeah the ridges on the outside are almost an inch long so it looks a lot bigger than it is. in all reality it's the same size and the opening for the TB.
