Default something i learned today

Today I was trying to go WOT on my car. And everytime I would do it it went dead rich and it felt as if I hit a brick wall, the car wouldn't go anywhere.
So I popped the hood and had someone rev the engine while I looked at the couplers. Sure enough the 90* coupler going into the TB was getting sucked close.
Yes it is an eBay one. Lol. At first it worked great now is really soft.

What brand is everyone using for the 90*?I need a 2.5in to 4in.

Dont you think the transition is a little restrictive. Maybe thats is the culpirt along with how layers or ply the hose is....

If you absolutely have to have a 2.5-4, I would use this one.

I personally would step up the size though. My Saturn uses a 2.5" intake.

Ya i worded that wrong. Imo i would not transition the 2.5 to 4" in a 90 degree silicone coupler. Transition it before the 90.
