I'm not a huge poster on forums but I've been around for a long time. All my friends use to wonder how I had soo much cool stuff when I was pretty young. This is why. I built my own stuff and did all of my own labor and research. Might not be as good or better than a companies stuff, but works none the less. I used the 1320 junkies as inspiration. They use a 6 inch system that necks down the a 5 inch elbow. Then uses a squared off reducer to the 4 inch tb inlet. That is not a smooth transition for air. So I made a 5 inch system and in the coupler it smoothly transitions to the 4 inch tb. I still need to figure out a few vac fittings and paint it really quick. But if your a budget builder like me. Then go for it. Not selling these either. Just for my own car.
My kit cost at most $100
Companies similar kit $400.
I did the pipe today. 9 inches long and has plenty of pipe into the joints. Could probably have gone 8 inch. I also thought about all the holes need to be drilled into it and grommets needed. Instead of drilling the pipe I'm going to plumb into the rubber elbow. One vac fitting goes in anyway. So I'll put the pcv and iat sensor there too. So if using a carbon pipe it will be hole free and look cleaner in my opinion. I'm using the stock lower box instead of a heat shield and found the lid could be bolted back on if you were to trim the space around the pipe to fit.
