this isn't the same tubing.. someone posted a link sometime ago.. it was a turbo site and they had all kinds of tubing, various diameters, bend angles and such.. I can't find it right off by maybe with a TTT someone will recognize what I'm talking about.. they specialized in hoses for turbos.. also you could check with a Diesel dealership (peterbilt,freightliner.. etc) and talk to a parts guy about silicone turbo hose.. that would be my next route..

I made one witout dryer hose. I think that would look like crap. I got the smallest 3in to 3 in rubber pvc coupler, a very sharp turning 45 degree angle elbow, and a peice of rubber hose from am 89 cavalier z-24, the a 3in peice of exhaust tubing about 4 inches long (goes between radiator and brake lines) and a cone filter. It takes in air from where the old air box was. With just a little work, it could suck air from underneath (below where the box was). The whole key is the peice from the 89 z-24. I am making up an install guide with pictures if anybody else wants a copy, e-mail me. Every that sees it thinks its a professional deal.1997 Chevrolet Camaro v6 - 13.8@104MPH

I'd like to see this. Although I'd like to keep the top mounted air box and lid that comes on the '98, and the 4" inlet.

Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
