Here's a pic of my engine bay,
not just for a little whoring,
but to show what a proper sized (2.75") intake looks like.

There's a 90 degree 2.75" to 2.75" elbow on the TB.
And a 45 degree 2.75" to 3" elbow on the MAF.
Seemless and snug fit on the TB, tubing, and MAF.
The 90 degree elbow has a long radius bend.
The tubing is stainless steel (which will be be getting a heat resistant coating in black).

As far as perfomance compared to other intakes;
Short Ram (CTA intake) - high temp, low pressure, high cfm
Short Ram w/ Heat Shield - mid temp, low pressure, mid cfm
CAI (CTA w/ GMK extension) - low temp, high pressure, low cfm
My intake - low temp, mid pressure, high cfm

Cost = less than $90 (with K&N filter)
