Totally built with 3.5" mandrel bent aluminum tubing ( polished for appearance ). Runs through the plastic radiator shroud through the side ( had to cut a perfect 3.5 circle with a tile router, K&N cone filter in the front radiator housing, red silicone couplers, LT1 elbow ( ceramic coated ) with a MAT already relocated ( need to hook it up as it is disconnected in the pix ). Throttle response is improved and top end is improved from seat of the pants. I have a big mouth air dam forcing cold air into the compartment ahead and through the radiator with amplifies the effect.
Some will undoubtedly question the design. Well, I did it as much to be different as to the overall effect. You cant have a smooth 3.5 tube above the radiator due to hood clearance and the cold airs on the market still use the "accordian" black rubber tube which causes turbulance. OK, my design may not work any better than the others, but it is different and in my opinion LOOKS 10x better asthetically.
Hope this inspires others to be creative and try fabricating.
