I know this cost more than yours but this thing really works. the flow test shows it flows over 400cfm more than stock. good luck which ever way you go. jim

remember guys.
grinding the throttleaxle will give you about the same area as an 78mm throttlebody.
And, with the advantage of that you dont run up and down in area, in other words: keeping the speed of the air.

filter

There's a foam dual type Ramair filter in the Y, its a cut to fit filter, there is a ramair website that sells them, suppose to flow and clean better than the K & N's, that what they say anyways.

RamAir are famous for their consistent "Best in Class" flow rates and dirt retention (not to mention their continued dominance in Motorsport) This means with the RamAir filter you are sucking in as much air as possible with the knowledge that no other filter can supply such pure, uncontaminated air as your RamAir filter.

Every RamAir filter is made by hand in the Uk, they are a true testament of quality, precision and are a bench mark for the competition to try and match. You can purchase from us with total confidence, you are buying the best straight from the factory. We are not a reseller of this item we are Ramair.
Product Details -

Ramair twin core foam is unique and like no other in the market. It is impregnated with a polymer retention agent to give maximum dust filtration along with optimum performance. Don't accept anything less than the best for your engine. Use Ramair!

You don't honestly think posting the company's own jargon is going to change how air flows. And maybe they're right and their filter flows better than any filter ever made, but that won't make your design flow any better than stock.

I was just trying to show that its not a soccer sock type filter, and you don't have to be an expert to see that it will get more air than stock!!!

This is his filter for his bypass :



Whether it adds power or not, we won't know. No before/after dyno and no before/after quarter mile times???

IMO, the tubes he's using must create a lot of turbulence and it adds little/no/negative power.

How can you see turbulence? It goes in right at the center of the throttle body, it doesn't interrupt the other air flow what so ever till the throttle body, if anything it directs the air coming in through the stock intake! like the stock intake baffle does..

This is all speculation on your part. The air coming in from the OEM intakes may be disturbed by the air coming in through the Electrolux tubes or even attempting to escape through these tubes (speculation on my part).
Stop racing using your keyboard and post some 1/4 mile runs. Don't waste your money on any dyno since your setup needs some level of air velocity to have a chance. The usual dyno fans will not do the job. My advice (FrankW said the same thing) if you want to keep things OEM, get a 55 larger T and leave it at that. I do however give you an A+ for trying something new.

I'm not going to go into the air flow benefits but why would you bypass your air filters?

Intake

Code 3 was DYNO proven to increase hp, it was completely open and did not cause turbulence, only flaw I seen was if it could just get cooler air, so how could this be any different from a code3? this is the same but just has a place to pull a little cooler air from..

Can you not tell that they are not bypassed?? They are still there working, These are just EXTRA air tubes going in to the throttle body! How can this be that difficult to understand?

Jim,

Your idea is good, but important to know that, the ECU counts the air velocity/density,

if you open another air bath from the "Y" type(which is soo sensitive area) will not helps the air to comes in the

intake in proper velocity, the air that comes from above area (which you done) will clash to each other every time when

you increasing the speed,,

more air NOT always helps, it depends to the mass of air or the speed density of the ECU data/file.....

ZAYED,,

quoting myself to show that yes! adding random hoses CAN actually restrict the std tubes, with adding turbulence.
But does your buttdyno say the car runs harder, then it is

Your new added hoses does have filters mounted in the front of the car(not visible on photos)?
