so what ya guys think?

[mellowboy]

It looks pretty good but why didnt u go all the way to the manifold?

[Honda_Racer]

buff dont know doesnt really matter ne ways thx tho lol

[1PhatCX]

looks...... ok....
why did u use PVC piping tho?
why whouldnt u just use 2.5" or 3" exhaust pipe?
and i agree... go all the way to the manifold.
thats what i'm doin

[Honda_Racer]

should i what i do about that sensor thingy?
and i used pvc cuz theres no 90 degree and 45 degree turns i looked

[Tony]

sensor thingy? don't know of one on the intake itself. Yea I think getting some exhaust pipes would work better, because it will be smooth inside, not have lips everywhere. And also probably look a little better too.

[Honda_Racer]

i mean the senors thingy look at last pic i left the thing in the right corner that? and whats wrong with pvc not as good?

[Tony]

oh, that little hose. Easy enough, to do, just get a little filter for it. they make them, the hard part is getting that fucker off. Mine wouldn't come off, been on there way too long.

[Honda_Racer]

what ya mean filter thingy cant i just like cut a peice of pvc then cut that little senor thingy with the rubber stick pvc on one sdie and another peice on other side?

[Tony]

I mean a little filter. Its a small brether filter for it, its not a sensor. And what you just said made no sense to me man.

And what I was saying earlier. With all those different connections you have made in that short distance on your intake with PCV pipe, there is a shitload of little lips inside that will catch the air and slow it down, so seriously, i don't know how much that helped you. With exhaust pipe, it would be smooth and the air would just go straight through it.

[1PhatCX]

PVC has lips in it so airflow wont be as good, u wont see any changes most likely, also its thicker walled and not heat resistant...
they get enuf heat and they could start 2 melt

[Honda_Racer]

thats false it is ehat resistant it will not melt

[Tony]

alright, it might not melt, but it still doesn't help that much over your stock intake.

[Honda_Racer]

ill fix that

You should of used a 180 degree bent mandrel pipe.
Club DelSol, or Team DelSol (or sumthin like that) has a How-To on it. I can't remember the address tho.
