Yup, normally pointed towards the rear since the oem hose is coming from the rear. We figured this was the best way to make sure the ARC guys were taken care of. The area behind the throttle body is tight so a -8 or -10 steel braided line is stiff at that radius.

swivel fitting (like the CF tubes)

kidding... there are probably far more using the OEM pcv hose so hopefully the standard orientation will be suitable for most.

Steel braided stiffness can eventually beat up the rubber seal or whatever is used on those fittings unless you tie down the hose or something, it doesn't really move but why have another point of failure on the pipe when you can just have it welded and be done with it.

Nope, still answering your point. Kidding or not, no reason not to address it.

Almost ready for the GB. Here's another install, with a Kinetix. Plenum mounting tab was cut off on this one.

Rev up engine bay



So it clears pretty much everything tested so far.

ARC/NRG STB, RA STB, Stillen STB, done on Kinetix plenum, done with oem plenum, done with Cosworth plenum.

Tamper proof T20 bits ordered so they can be included for installation ease.

Very nice. Including the T20 tool is a very good move.

Can you make some type of heat shield for this?

We won't be making one, just drive faster. Heat is only an issue in traffic. How much power do you need in traffic?

Don't crucify me, this is an aesthetics option over other short ram type intakes. Injen heatshield probably does little to nothing.

IMO, its looks busy with a heat shield. So, it looks cleaner without one.
