fwiw a 90mm opening is 3.54"

i just use an AFM 4" powerpipe, pretty simple, If it was me i'd stay away from using that 5'' pipe, seems a little big, and its going to dwarf the throttle body.

BTW be careful with your nuts around pipe that size

SMOKEDYA · Feb 18, 2009

cobra dustin your right! i wounder why they say 90mm then when it measures 4"? in mm thats like 102/105mm. so 3.54" is 88.5mm. i was thinking the same thing that 5" is just to big and bulky looking under the hood. i'll go look for the AFM pipe. got any pics of it? peace

got everything from ebay. 3.5" system, pieced it together for right around $100 for everything including silicone elbows, pipe and K&N filter. i modeled it off of one of the AFM power pipes because i couldn't bring myself to pay $180 for something i could build myself for cheaper. if you decide to build it yourself like i did, you can get everything in a 4" diameter for the same price.

Just get or make a power pipe

I have a Demolet (Dense air charger) with a 70mm maf if you wanna buy it.

I just installed an Anderson powerpipe for my blower butI had a JLT before. Making something is hard to do but very possible. I agree that pipe is too big.....

We have used the 4" intercooler tubing kits from ebay for around $100. We have also mocked up what we needed and then went to the local exhaust shop and bought 4" exhaust and had them do our bends(our shop has a mandrel bender and not the crappy kind like most exhaust shops use).

as far as the silicone elbows, just type 4" silicone elbow in ebay and you'll get tons of hits.

not to derail, i dont have much to add since my car is running a BBK CAI, but do any of you guys know if any of the AFM power pipes clear a MM strut tower brace?

SMOKEDYA · Feb 20, 2009

well heres what i came up with whatcha think? peace

You really don't want to run an open element in the engine bay. You will be sucking turbulant hot hot air. Put it in the fender, or box it into the fender opening.

SMOKEDYA · Feb 20, 2009

i know thats the only thing i dont like with it there. i might go today to a turbo fab shop here to get a couple 4" silacone elbows plus a 4" piece of pipe so i can run it into the fender. i've heard it's better to NOT put the filter right to the MAF? if i go to the turbo shop today i'm doing the set up like cenok is family did.peace
