I have a 4" dia hose running down connected to a hole in the brake duct. Try it out. | | | 06-07-2004, 02:22 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 | vultiev1- please post pics, not sure what you did. | | | 07-21-2004, 08:11 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Fort Worth, TX Posts: 234 | Quote: Originally Posted by ClubSport Me too.

Where did you get that adapter plug thing? And what are you using for hose, btw? | | | 07-22-2004, 04:26 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Fort Worth, TX Posts: 234 | i got it at Autozone. it is actually a kit for those cheap short ram intake kits made by APC/some company like that. i was walking in the ricer aisle and happened to see some flexible plastic intake hosing that was an option for the intake they sold. i looked around more and saw the adapter that went with the hose. both the adapter and hose cost me a total of like $15.00. __________________ | | | 12-29-2004, 06:27 PM | #8 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Seattle Posts: 19 | Quote: Originally Posted by chepas | Did you remove the air filter completely? Even with a long hose I'd be concerned about stuff getting sucked down. And nothing personal but I'd like to see some dynos or 1/4 times before I believe that "I can feel the difference with a $20 plastic tube." | | | 12-29-2004, 07:39 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | I went to a half dozen Auto Zone stores, no one had the hose. The link on this thread says to try wet-vac hose. I can get that very easy from Home Depot.
