i definatly applaude the brains it takes to invent something like this. On the other hand id would never be caught dead with that under my hood.

but maybe thats just me, i just cant see myself poping my hood @ the friday night hang out with a 8 foot slinky in there.

im not tryin gto discredit you bro, you did a great job for DIY

yeah, but he was smart enough to use the MAS and filter

that's the same ducting I used to funnel air to my short ram, but I was thinking of askign Troie where he got the insulated ducting instead. Stronger and insulated.

Not that bad looking and kudos for relocating the MAS. How is it affixed and do you get a lot of movement during driving which would be my concern should it snag/tear/etc. on something in the bay.

Actually the filter is well tied a the bottom so it stays in place, and it does vibrates a little when you floor the gas pedal but you just have to fix it so it wont hit against the batery

10 feet if you cut each piece exactly right on the grounding kit. I paid for 10 dude gave me 11.5 and I have about a foot left over and a little slack under the hood. I used 5 wires by the way.

Just a question but I thought the MAS was always supposed to be the same distance from the TB for accurate readings? I thought I heard that somewhere?

I thought I heard the same thing about it being the same distancer from the throttle body as the stock pipe? Could be wrong though
