They are coming guys got a batch of raw material on it's way. Last step is sourcing the PVC fittings I'm not sure how many more salvage yards I can hit
Up for the pcv fittings. Yes I am rebuilding the fittings. A good soaking in simple green and new O-rings

As a heads up, please make sure you keep the exact same ID (over the same lenght) of the new tube to keep the engine breather flows in balance as designed.

That was one of the most important things I took into consideration.

I didn't want the air slowing down with too large of pipe or restrict it with too small of one.

Sorry for the delay here are a couple of teaser pics of the final raw prototype. All that's left is coating or polishing.

"After Mafioso handed down modded air intake tubes to the STR's, they sought out and slew their enemies".

removed all of the silencing chambers, and made a little bit of power all while trying to reduce heat soak.

I loaded that video, and as I was watching it I felt my anxiety brewing because I just *knew* the car is gonna shift at 5500 rpms. Then, when it did, I suddenly wanted to go in my garage to kill my STR. That is all.

I did not notice until now that you were starting from 2nd gear...I thought that was the 1-2 shift, during which my car (and others, from what I have been reading) shifts at 5500ish regardless of mode. Frustrating

I believe Mafioso performed a dyno run and posted a 13 hp and 7 lb/ft torque gain? Or somewhere in this vicinity.
