if you want ram air, its best to put the intakes where the pressure is the highest (right in the middle of the bumper).

Have you dyno tuned it?

I think your best bet is to run that car at a track that doesn't have a sound limit. Or run a different car. Sorry.

The tube idea will help with the noise, but I don't think it's going to be very practical.

nice on the dyno testing! What you have isn't that far off what I bought and have from shawn church.

BTW mike I found there wasn't that big of a problem with sound. not sure if its the paths of the tubes or not. but its not as loud as you would suspect.

yes, the space is so confined; that's the main problem, fiberglass or CF would be ideal but I'm wondering if there are easier materials to work with...

this one is CF I believe...

Damn that's sexy.

definetly easiest to leave it alone. The tube idea is low cost - $60 so maybe I'll try that...

Here is another pic of the CWest car. I wonder if the spacing on an S14 BMW is similar enough to where the manifold could be modified...
