OK, i got more pics, and I've been messing with the pipes trying to figure them out. This is the only way I got it to be even remotely close but when I sat it in the engine bay, the right side T sits on the battery, that can't be right. SO I'm waiting for Phillip to let me know how they go. But check out the cardomain for all the new pics (only like 4 or 5).

Thats my size 12 shoe for size reference. About a foot between the pipes. They are also about 3 inches in diameter. If you have any other ideas as to how they might fit please let me know. Thanks.

Actually now that I think of it, I'll take a pic of it in the engine bay. BRB

Could the T coupler to against the throttle body then the Maf attaches to that and then the Intake? Perhaps I could do a MSpaint job.

That was definately it. I just don't use the straight pipe (I don't think) because with that on, it looked like the ends would be way too wide for the TBs. But heres pics








Now the filter will be in the same place as it used to be. Wow I need to clean it.

I thought the tubes should be the same length...right?

I'm glad I'm good for something. Get that sucker on man. I'm really interested to see what kind of power that makes for you. Oh and the sound from under your hood should be crazy.

thats what i thought too, but then i thought this: maybe, since both TBs will still open, would the first one be sucking in as much air as it can, then any excess air that can't fit through the first throttle body will be sucked around to the second one? That could be really wrong though. I'm still waiting to hear back from Phillip on how they go. It's just that after 2 days of trying to figure it out, thats the only one that makes sense. Cause I can't construct it to be like the old shape with a Y and both pipes being equal to each TB. We'll see

yeah, i've known that, but what we mean is that because the pipes are not the same length leading to the Throttle bodies, the stock side will still be getting all the air and the new side will be getting what doesn't fit into the stock side. Like leftovers.

well thats kinda what I expected. there is no way to have it go completely evenly without the orig design of an even "Y" split into them both above the header

I wonder if getting that with a turbo would be a tuning nightmare. I would like to try something like that but I know having a turbo and that might be conflicting
