I just got finished playing in the garage for the first part. I'm waiting for another part to arrive and will pick up another couple of parts from there. It doesn't mean anything until it comes together and is tested though. So get ready for the -15 to -20hp and torque losses. It'll make for some good comedy relief. Something deep down inside me adds pluses instead of minuses though.

Ther critizism is not for nothing. Saying there is no gain from it is legitimate.
The 5mt conversion reduces drivetrain loss which is a proven gain in almost any car. Period. The 4.11/4.44 conversion increases torque to wheels. Same as any other vehicle that you change gear ratios in. Also plain and simple. This intake will only reduce the 98% VE which is not something anyone wants. I am serious in saying it will be time and money wasted. I am going to unsubscribe from this one now, seems like others are not making sense of this Tom |

Anyways, just in case a newbie or oldie that may have missed some threads on related subjects, here are a couple of threads that make good reading. Do not waste time reading this thread if it does not make any sense.
SVX inlet system design. Pt.2. Resonance. Subura Engineers are not GODS.... there IS room for improvement...

What a pain in the arse this connection is. The throttle body housings are so close together. You need thin rubber or silicone to squeeze two intake tubes on it. Have to do something about this in the future. Now, I'm waiting for the 'Y' pipe to arrivein the mail. The single pipe portion of the 'Y' is where I will drill hoses for the vacuum tubing. After I receive the 'Y' pipe, I can figure out the length of the straight tubing I'll need to connect the silicone bend to the 'Y' pipe with. Then the tubing and hoses will get all clamped down. Just my little update since I've nothing else to do.

Very interested to see how it goes. It's nice that somebody is finally taking the time to dyno and get real life performance figures. Keep up the good work, and even if it doesn't improve performance, at least someone will have proved it the correct way instead of just assuming.

I KNEW my 'Y' piece would get in today. It still is not here. All of my other car stuff has since came in 'cept for this piece. Gotta check into this to see what the heck is going on. Edit: Just found this in my inbox--->"No, it has not shipped. This item is currently on backorder w/magnaflow. I don't have a solid ETA, and I'm sorry, I thought I had email'd all my customers to offer a refund if they were unable to wait. I apologize for the confusion and the inconvenience. Please let me know how you wish to proceed. Thanks, Dan Customer Service Dept. 1-800-470-1443 http://performancepeddler.com" I hate delays! Now to think of option two.

Kevin,
Think "ram air"...do a search on it....Mychailo and I have shown that it will provide 5-10 more Hp above ~40mph. -Bill
