The Coupler i have is 4x3 and the PVC is a 3" 45* like the instructions said too !

I'll get new piping today and go from there .. so a 3x3 coupler and a minimum bend (preferably 60*) PVC is my best bet?

Dude, I have a PVC FWI pipe you can have. All you need is a 3" coupler to connect it to your tb.

The one end is for a 4" filter but I can fix that to make it fit a 3".

I'll have to get you some pics.

yea that cone filter should be over the PVC pipe not in it.....that metal clamp over the PVC is doing nothing to secure it on there.....sometimes its a very tight fir to get it over but some spit and a flat head will help....or that cone will fall out when you hit a hard bump in the road

GTeisele - the filter i have is extremely snug in the PVC pipe .. there was a small lip of rubber on the intake that i trimmed down slightly and it isn't going anywhere. Thanks for the tip thought i might just go ahead and do that anyways.

That filter is tiny and that clamp is doing nothing.

hmm

nope. i dont see an issue with it .. regardless if that clamp is doing nothing, its not hurting anything being there .. also i do enjoy the constructive critisism but i'm going to stick with what I have .

I feel as if though im getting flammed because im not using the most expensive parts and doing it the way each person has it done on their car. frown

No man. We don't do that around here. We are all feeling the crunch. Ask anyone, I'm always going the cheapest way possible with everything.

A 90* bend with a small filter just doesn't work as well as a big filter and 45* bend.

Well your opinion is wrong as has been stated by this entire thread. Just so you know.
