    Intercooler piping from Ebay, it was just a pre-bend 90 that I cut to fit. Silicone coupler, and clamps I just had laying around. It could easily be recreated for around $40! You are correct, the smooth 90 really makes a difference on how the engine sees air coming in, won't make any power but will smooth the air out for sure! See my post on "what did you do to your 2nd gen today"

    The reason that the stock intake is so large is because it so turbulent. The effective flow diameter is not more that 3"
