Are you guys sure that you don't have the tube upside down?

Great point! They should print a simple arrow on the pipes and the maf tube to show direction.

For sure, especially considering that the GT throttle body diameter is the same size I believe as the MAF tube diameter

Yeah the GT350 intake made my tubing very easy to identify which end was throttle body. But i can say anyone with any kind of spacer/adapters pipe looks all jammed up

I would make a simple install kit even more simple!

Well, maybe scrap the entire section and build your own.

So you are using the GT350 intake manifold, but the GT throttle body?

No GT350 intake AND throttle body. But there's no adapters as it's intended for that application. Also had to get the GT350 kit from ESS so the inlet charge pipe was 87mm in lieu of 82mm.
I've seen some members here with an 18+ manifold and an 87mm throttle body but it has a spacer/adapter plate that pushes the charge pipe too tight to the radiator

I am yes, I don’t think mine is too terrible. When I installed it, ESS said it was all good.

Yours definitely looks pretty good! It's the ones you see that have like a crease in them. They would notice a power gain across all ranges if they straightened it out. I have proof on two dyno runs of before and after on mine.

50% sure, both the maf to intercooler and the maf to throttle body are hard to decipher which way goes where

This is exactly how mine looks, kinda touching the radiator and i also routed my coolant hose by mistake like yours, under the intake hose haha im glad im not the only one. Does anyone think theres any negative to this way vs the way ess outlines where its above and visible (and ugly)

For those that added a boost gauge, what "pods" are you using? Seems the only options are the ac grille ones that look dumb, IMO, and I have the PP so I only have 2 there to begin with. And the Autometer A pillar one that is supposedly really cheap flimsy plastic, doesn't attach well, and in some peoples opinion, would be unsafe in an airbag deployment.

I guess it looks dumb to you but glow shift ac vent is mine. can get better picture later, garage lights are insane

They just look out of place to me. How do you even get the tubing into the ducting?
