Working on Intake System Here’s some links to some parts I just bought from Air Flow Systems. They make intake systems for Big Rigs and such. The web address is http://www.airflo.com/
All the parts are rubber. They consist of a 4” 90, a 4” to 3 ½” reducer, and a section of 4” pipe (which I already had). They sell the clamps also. There is a copy of the bill on the links below. Total cost was about $35.00. The rubber 90 could be trimmed about 1” or so to bring the whole thing a little closer if you wanted.
If the links don’t work leave me a message and I’ll move them to another site.

Re: Working on Intake System Airflo rocks, been getting my stuff there for years.
FWIW, I wouldn't put the filter directly off the end of the MAF. People who have done lotsa datalogging & testing usually find that straight, laminar flow will give you best readings & response from the MAF sensor.
Dunno if you were planning that or not, just wanted to throw it out there <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Working on Intake System Derek 357I, The parts are very light, it's the same type of rubber you would use on a raidator hose.
BGreen, Well I was planning on mounting it close, but I'll move it away about 10 inchs. That should do it.
I have not got the filter yet, so I am still looking for the right one. Any sugestions on what to use here? 3.5" or 4.0"? Who has them?

Re: Working on Intake System Dale, that is great to hear, I'll get mine on order directly. Summit Racing Equipment has the universal K&N. Type in "K&N universal" in the keyword input box and you can see all they have. It looks like you can get 3, 3 1/2, and 4 ID in a couple different lengths. Almost all of them are under $50.00.
