The aluminium pipe is 3.5", the stock MAF housing and I am using a 3" MAF adapter with a 3" inlet filter with a 5" medium. Later I will move the filter behind the grill with a 90 degree elbow pipe.

I was in a 90mm pipe but it requires tuning and the shop doesn't have a dyno yet. Everything has to be done in house.

There isn't.

I hope you did a before dyno so you can compare to the after dyno. I would like to see the look on your face when you compare results.

A dyno for the shop and then in time a 4.0 liter stroker and a custom single turbo kit.

Like I said IF there is lil to no chance of an advantage over a 3" I still want it to be 3.5".

Injected Performance is using a 5" intake pipe into a stock TB with a Cosworth plenum. So there is an advantage over a 3" AT LEAST when the car is FIed.

There are no gains.











Instant throttle response and instant gratification.



Getting Argon.


Installed it in my drive way. I didn't have room at the shop.

Big pipe looks super!
