RE: made my own intake tube
Hilljob: I'm not saying it is not a good thing, but it could even be better? IDK the actual flow figures, but it is an observation that makes some sense. Might actually mean nothin? Can't argue with the pricing of tube(s) to replace the resonator box! [sm=smiley20.gif] Kudos on the SS pipe! No doubt you have increased flow over the stock box set up.
Ghostrider: the tubethat comes out the side Connects the at other end to the ½’’ nipple on the factory valve cover breather port. PVC stuff.

Hey Hilljob. What's the diameter of that tube? I was thinking about doing something similar, but just haven't had the time. I don't have time to make one for myself, let alone everybody else lol.

RE: made my own intake tube
ok,ok,here are some #'s.
it came in stock at 217 hp and 222 torque, this was the baseline basically
with just the k&n,it made 224 hp and 230 torque,=7hp gain 8 torque gain
with the k&n and the tube,it came in at 232 hp and 242 torque=15 hp gain and 20 torque gain
with just the tube it came in at 225 hp and 233 torque =8 hp gain and 11 torque gain
these were the numbers he gave me,i wasnt able to be in the room when it was done,insurance reasons or something,not sure,but all in all,came out great in my eyes,and the throttle response seems to be alittle better with the tube as well.i hope this helps you all.i am going to put a sell thread in the 4 sale,so if anyone wants one,here ya go
