I built mine for testing purposes. Looks are secondary. The front is angled down like that for 2 reasons. One to keep the distance from the opening of each runner to the "roof" of the plenum and also to help direct the air over the hump at the back of the #1 runner and make sure #4 was able to get plenty of air. The tubing is 3/8 thick 4inch id

Honestly I get the function > form hing but I'm doing mine for function AND form. Honestly think that mine is gonna look sick when it's down an powder coated and don't know why it wouldn't help. Only thing I'm concerned about is drivability...which I've done some research and it shouldn't be drasticallly different for everyday driving.

Yes, the Wilson throttle body actually uses one off of a Mustang that im going to wire it in to the harness. Should be no problem to calibrate with the AEM, thats what the tuner says at least.
