After all its only $15 or so.

Im not looking for savings here. Ive already had an intake that cost me $270 or so. And $15 for an intake is great.

I was just looking for exact measurements for the ease of installation as ill be doing mine and my buddies trucks tomorrow hopefully

One thing though, I didn't measure the amount of pvc inserted into the factory tube properly on the engine side. As a result I was getting weird performance: when I would attempt to floor it I would get a whua-whua-whua sound with surges of acceleration.

I looked under the hood and the pvc/downspout piece had sucked backward on the accordian part from the factory one, it had dropped and was making a seal on the inside of the frame,cutting off airflow.

I realigned it, collapsed the accordian part of the factory tube as much as I could before locking the hose clamp onto the pvc part and have had no problems since.
