3.5 inch dongle??
Hi guys,
I have an A&A kit in my car and was reading about the 4 inch stainless steel dongles guys make and get good results with. I have a normal height Dewitts radiator how hard would it be to fit a 4 inch dongle? Also, how would a 3.5 inch dongle work the vortech site says the Si has a 3.5 inch inlet. Can more power be made with a 3.5 inch dongle over the one in my car for A&A?
Thanks,
Rob

Curious about if we should go with the 3.5 or 4" for the Si 3.5 inch inlet?

Agreed... I remember reading that the 4" pipe gave some good increases / better flow over the A&A dongle that we got - but I guess I was wondering if a 3.5" pipe would show much improvement / or not / over the A&A dongle - IF anybody had tried to see what the difference was - if any?

Do you know if it has any affects on cooling with the radiator layed down?
Thats what I was thinking would the 3.5 be easier to make fit. Even if its not as good as the 4" if its some improvement and I think it would look better too.

So Steve do you think there would be any gain from trying to get either a 3.5 or 4" dongle in there?? I have the newer one from you guys in there now.
