Not sure of the exact angle, I used a bunch of different angled + straight plumbing pieces. All cut at different angles as well so its hard to say exactly what it is. I then had it all set how I wanted it, then covered with fiberglass in two halves, took the plumbing pieces out & married the two halves of the fiberglass together.

Looks sick man, I was looking at doing a similar setup using the front bumper hole theory but there is NO way mine would have come close to being that nice! Good work!

I ghetto engineered my own ram air through the nostrils as well. But yours is much nicer and cleaner looking. I don't think there would be much of a gain over say a FTRA setup as you can only pressurize your intake tract so much at speed, but it looks menacing and mean as hell! You'll be pulling leaves, birds and small children from your filters for sure! Looks like a big f-ing vacuum cleaner! Thumbs up!
