Patman's version of the Gotts intake mod





traced around the PVC pipe and used a cut off wheel to open the fender up a bit




rubber isolator ring to keep it setup like factory





we also removed the silencer while we had the intake apart

Almost the same thing I did the first time around, expanded the opening, except I didn't install that rubber trim piece. Nice Patrick! Second time, I upgraded to receive a Volant cold air box. = Larger square opening.

Good Job mister

BTW- I also sanded the lip out of that schedule 40 on one side for smoother transition.



Patrick, what's that deal by your hand, - is that for the car starter ? That push-pin thing. Removed mine 3 years ago, -never reinstalled it again. Just curious as to what exactly it does.

Nice work, Patrick!

I think jbrew is talking about the pipe where it's not de-burred and the rough cut remains on the ID of the pipe.

didnt think about doing that, we did remove the tabs on the inside of the filter housing that the factory snorkel attached to.

Yea, -Stealth got it. Looking inside of the set up after it was roughed in, -mine stepped up into the PVC. I just thinned it out to match the OEM box, - like port/gasket matching in a way lol.

Not sure if your set up does this, -mine did using the 40.

Ok got it. I recall it was connected to one single wire. Damn thing got in the way to much I guess. Still in the drawer, never put it back on.

Oh and yea, I thought you just had tiny hands
