i got a question. is there a reason you went with the 4 inch pvc? wouldnt it have been easier to just have used 3.5 inch pipe and straight 3.5 inch couplers? that way you dont have any bottlenecking where you drop a half inch at the throttle body? idk it may not be that big of a deal. what do yall think?

maybe it works as a ram air affect pulling in 4 inches of air and smashing it into 3.5 right before it goes into your TB. Maybe?

Yep, the fog lights took maybe 15 minutes.....I spent more time looking where to mount the ballasts. And I went with 4" because I could not find 3.5" tubing! And when I measured the opening on the airbox, I could have swore it was 4" but it is a little smaller than that.

Not sure if you saw my other post but I also did this:

I bought two heavy duty relays and some 14 gauge wire to re-wire for the lights. I also ordered a new switch for the second pair. So, I only have one pair working currently. They will all work this weekend for sure.

I also ordered some Hella Optiplux H3 85 watt yellow bulbs for the outer lights (500ff). They will be in Thursday. The center pair (500) has 100 watt clear bulbs.
