allmotor, or anyone. will you be kind enough to measure the outside diameter of the intake piping? If you can also measure the coupler, that would be great. But the piping diameter will do fine and I will be able to measure the appropriate coupler.

Thank you in advance.

I sent AEM, K&N, Injen and all of which I have not heard for two days..

I need the measurement so I can order a custom mandrel bent piping. It would only cost me $100 for a GanzFlow design.

I posted the GanzFlow design in Other Parts Forum.

thanks again.

intakes are not all the same. they all do the same thing, thanks captain obvious. some are still better than others. for example in how they flow, how heat resistant they are, build/material qualty. i could keep goin.

In the end, it doesn't matter. 1hp instead of 3? I've been through an AEM and K&N, both of which were noisy and yielded minimal gains. Metal/plastic/heat shield, in the end, it's just a filter on a stick. Stock setup beats them all.

Oh actually there was a difference AEM had a loud, ricey sound, but the fipk is quieter with a deep sounding tone. That's about it. Some even rob torque, but you won't feel a few hp anyway.

I guess you could make your own. Just get some flexible intake tubing. I think partsexpress.com carries it. Run that from your TB to somewhere and put a filter on it.
