Default Need Help! air-intake on TB

hi

i need good soulution here.

i´m running now Ls2 TB and MTi ramair, but using the stock air-knee. like on the pics.



But i´m wondering there must be much air-restrict in that hose, and believe me i need a Air-flow for my 402.





It´s not as easy as i thought to swappe a hose, because of the shape of it, 120mm and 100mm other end.

So what is the best thing to to here, to increase Air-flow., are there aftermarket hoses for C5 or?

all ideas please!!!!

The biggest air restrictions are not because of the air bridge, although both the Halltech and the K&N (FIPK) intakes include larger air bridges and smooth TB couplers. If you already have an MTI Ramair, you probably won't gain much by replacing the air bridge and accordian coupler.

You can buy larger airbridges and throttle body connectors through many of the CF vendors.
