Is the G-tech pretty accurate? I saw one on the internet the other day. For $200, I'd hope it was accurate. It doesn't seem all that expensive I guess.

I know out here, and it might be the same where you live, but a lot of speed shops will do a $30 Dyno on certain Saturdays and you get three shots while they do it. I'd find out if anyone does that where you live.

when I made mine for the 99 I got a piece of aluminum piping. and I connected it to the stock hat on the TB. then ran it to near the front of the engine bay and put a ractive cone filter on it. and made a box outta diamond plate aluminum for it and removed a piece in the rad sadle so cold air will come straight in. I think it gave it better throttle response and more power.


If you dont have your filter blocked off from the engine heat, then your not getting cold air and you'll probly lose power with all the hot air your bringin in.

I found the pipe at the local steel place. I guess it was a rare find. but steel would be just as good.

I dont know what they used that pipe for but they had like 5' left over, so I got it cheap

I'm probably going to have one built where it goes through the right side wall and have the airfilter inside the splashguard pulling in the cold air. That way it'll be continuous. I'll have to bore a bigger hole, maybe a 3 1/16" hole for the 3" pip with a little bit of weather stripping going around the hole for support.
