BTW, anyone doing this ... run the largest pipe you can!

I think that 2" is a bit restrictive ...

If the intake is 2", then how is 2" piping TO the intake too restrictive?

I've not done this yet 'cause I still want to figure out a way to modify intake so that it's coming over passenger side (and not over headers). Anyone have thoughts on how this could be done?

the restriction comes into effect in that you are running a much LONGER pipe out of the airbox and adding bends.

sry ... no time to explain fluid dynamics, but fit a 2" pipe into your mouth and you tell me if it's harder to breathe with a 12" length versus a 36" length with multiple bends (mix the 90's and 45's as you wish).

don;t get me wrong, that stock crap straddled into the fender well is pretty bad ... but, ya want that snorkle to be *better* than that.

Update on this one..

Nope, 2" isn't restrictive, still has plenty of power...

I did make a shield out of a coffee can, and painted it OD too... lol... looks good, and I use it when I run in the wet.

The couplers softened up with use, and now it flexes just fine..

No troubles, no worries...  works great.

Yeah, it has air slits in it, and two "flaps" on the back that let air in.

I have another solid can that I screw on when being stored, to keep all water out
