okay thats the # for the y pipe .What about the s/c snout that mounts up to the s/c & throttle body does that need to be changed as well or do i use the one on my car and get a adapter plate for it? And if so do you have the part # or and idea were i might be able to source one?

the snout also has to be for a 80mm TB kit so the adapter flange to bolt on. Sirboostalot i think can modify the OEM 74mm snout. you may want to contact him.

Found a post from BlackBenz
Stock TB is 74mm. "80"mm TB is actually 78mm. You can get a 80mm sc inlet and the 80mm TB will bolt to it and get the 80mm y pipe. You need to switch pins for the 80mm TB since it opens in the opposite orientation in comparison to stock. 82mm requires an adapter, porting, and some massaging of the 80mm ypipe to work but no switching pins if you buy a MB TB. Hope that helps and good luck ![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Thanks for the help guys ill be back onces i get all the parts together i got the throttle body so now i need to source a 80 y pipe and need to see if i can machine the factory s/c housing to 80mm or see if i can find one off of a sl55. Does anyone else know if there is any other 55k car that would have a s/c snout that would work?
