thanks for all the kind words guys!
the reason for the mod is two fold...
my original intent was to get cooler air to the head unit which compresses the air, which in turn heats the air as well...the cooler the air is going in...the cooler it should be en route to the FMIC...hopefully reducing heat soak...
at the track I can even remove the headlight for more cool air...
with the D1, comes the second and currently, more important reason...you can only fit so big a filter in the original location, and I had about the biggest you could fit and that was by utilizing a 45 degree elbow...
well, the D1 is sucking that elbow shut @ wot...the filter has now become a restriction again...as the original k&n had become early on...
this mod should accomplish the desire for cooler air and eliminate any airflow restriction issues...
I'll try to post up some more pics tomorrow...the one above is the one the fabricator sent me from his phone this afternoon...
he also incorporated a support bracket onto the air tube that utilizes one of the ProCharger bracket bolts...
inspiration came from several of EPP's builds...thanks Bob and company!
