Hay Dave, did you mean to put this here?

 

If the outlet is smaller than OEM I would fix that and try agin. Also in the picture in post 105 you have your pipe attached to the OEM pipe that goes to the a OEM air box with what looks like a normal air filter. Those parts negate your nice charge pipe. For your pipe to see any advantage everything before it needs to be smooth and flow well. So a K&M filter and a smooth pipe to your charge pipe. You need it to be able to gulp air with no obstructions.

On my cold air intake (R53) I have a box that is inclosed from any heat from the engine bay. I also have a big hole cut in the plastic that separates the air filter and the area under the vent in front of the windshield. This way I get all the cold air I need from that area instead of that little OEM pipe that gets air next to the radiator.

 

I haven't looked inside the OEM pipe that goes from the air box to your charge pipe in a long time so I can't remember, is it smooth? If not as air velocity goes up so will turbulence. But that really not the biggest problem in my opinion. The air filter and box is. If you are trying to get more air flow you can not just change the middle and expect big results. Every thing before it must flow to the max posable.
I like what you are doing but have always thought this part would be best used on a highly modded R53 that's needs every bit of air it can get.

 

Good luck, I really hope this works

 

Ducati!!!

 

If you say Mustang agin you will be banned!!

My son has a Mustang GT I love that car. It's here at my house I am trying to straighten out some problems with it, ABS light, I need to put a new cross over pipe on it, and the seal in the rear end is leaking. Once I am finished with it he can have it back and I will take his Jeep.

 

Looking forward to seeing the test results of this..

 

I like it. Makes me wish I still had an R53

 

Man this is a harsh crowd!
