If You Don't Like Vortechs Stock Inlet Setup...


i made my own. sorry dont have a picture but its pretty simple. basically i took their inlet and cut off the section that had the two hoses for the pcv and iac, then attached my maf to that section and the filter to the maf. i attached the iac to the small pipe that connects the after cooler to the tb, and the pcv line i attached to the upper bypass socket in the vortech inlet pipe. i then re attached the lower bypass. after that i grinded down some of the fiber glass under the hood so the mas would clear, hood closes no prob. 2 reasons i did this setup. first the filter position vortech has sucks. for me when i decelerated id get hesitation and slight bucking due to erratic airflow through the bumper. with my new setup, everything is smoother than ever with no such deceleration issues. second, the filter was too low for my liking, and one puddle could really screw things up. i suppose airflow is improved with my setup, but more importantly i believe i can swap out the shortened inlet pipe for something larger with no prob. something like a 3.5 inch 45 degree elbow would be equivalant to a afm powerpipe for only 10$ or so. ill try to get some pictures tommorow, and if i can find the right size elbow at home depot i might start looking into getting a larger inlet. only downside to this i can see is for me is i only have one bypass now, but thats all i need only pushing 10lbs. changing the filter will certainly be easier
