What air filter are you going to run? That compressor housing looks mighty close to the hood brace catcher in the pic... Maybe its just the angle, but it does not look like a filter will fit on there as it sits in that pic.

I guess you could run a CAI tube down into the fender.

Or just run a horn, or screen, or cut the prop holder off.

You are going to want to wrap that mani up lol. I am interested in the exhausting of that system. May have to go down and out the drivers side.

It looks pretty damn good. Ceramic coating will help contain the heat well. Any way you can get your hands on a Borg Warner S372 to see if that'll fit?

Are you going to market these manifold if it's successful?

that would be pretty cool / unique.
Mine goes down into the fender currently with a 3" intake, but it is the driver's side fender... His looks perfectly positioned to dive down into the passenger fender area. Cut those fake brake ducts out, and its a functional ram-air cold-air intake...



I have yet to dyno my setup back-to-back to see if there is any real advantage. I also think the real advantage could not be measured on the dyno due to the need for massive flowing air through that area, like when at speed.

as for the hood catcher of prop holder.. i have tein hood dampers on the car so maybe taking out the prop might be needed but looks like it will still work just might be close..

actually, the downpipe was fairly easy to make. it was the dump tube that was a bit of a pain.

How is that labeled as "true equal length". You can look and see the runners are different lengths?

you measure each piece of each runner (elbows and straight sections), add up those #'s and you get the overall length of the runner. if all 4 runners are the same length, then they are "equal length".

imo, "equal length" is a catch phrase for people who want to put a turbo setup on their car. to me "equal length" does not mean "equal flow", but everyone gets a hardon when they hear "equal length"... all these runners are extremely close in length, but they are not all going to flow the same due to the variation of the bends in them.
