I have seen real world gains from various custom intakes & whether made out of pvc or expensive aluminum I consider a well built DIY setup alot less ricey than spending $300+ on a chrome setup that performs worse than the factory one

95% of the snorkel kits you see on 4x4s are homemade pvc pipe jobs

2.75 is a bit big for duals isn't it? At least for the amount of power you're putting out.
Wiggle room is always nice though I guess.
I want stainless for mine, but I live in Florida so the car never sees salt or anything.

well, stock its stainless and 2.5 inch

are you serious? what do you consider a real hemi? im hoping you arent comparing it to the heads from a 426 hemi. hemi today is nothing more than a trademark. not to mention it wasnt even the first big 3 hemispherical head

Almost every motor produced these days have a version of "hemi" (hemispherical) heads. it was just a sales pitch, and it's obviously worked lol

a "version"? lol.. yeah maybe 5% hemispherical concave vs like 50%

wouldnt really consider it a "hemi" lol

it sounds different, if you ever listened to one.

What is a hemi? It's a motor that was sloganed for having hemispherical heads... Find me a motor without one.... and i'm here to tell you, those heads on your "hemi" there are nothing close to those found on a 426.

p.s. What compression ratio does one run with a 50% concave?? rofl 2:1?

its nowhere close to a true hemisperical combustion chamber. and besides, ford had true hemi heads before dodge so keep bragging on your "hemi in name only" dodge charger. its nothing more than a sticker to get fanboys to buy their cars. its like putting vtec on your civic its for the fanboys
