Also when the 2 pipes come together there will be alot of air turbulence, causing a loss in performance. The closer the IAT/MAF is to the TB the more accurate their readings are.

I see no room over there for it. 95 Mystique GS Zetec ATX: Dead - Dec 5th, 2003 94 Accord LX 2.2L MTX Non-Vtec. Few bolt ons. 02 Escape XLT 3.0 V6 ATX. This thing has the CD4E in it?! What the hell was ford thinking?

I was really tired the other night and came up with running four pipes for the older Euro Zetec R that was carburated; methinks a pair of Holley two barrels with U-shaped pipes would be quite nasty. Maybe run a hood like the Subie WRX that has the long narrow scoop so all 4 pipes have a direct quasi ram air. Just thinking out loud...bet the Burton Power boys have already done that. 2000 Contour SE 2.5L ATX - Toreador Red 2001 VW Golf GLS 2.0L MTX - Tornado Red Buy my possessed VCR!!
