That is exactly what I'm thinking. Looks much better and the flow has got to be improved over all those turns in the "stock" intake tube.

I'm using a BA5000 MAF in the tube right before the throttle body (in my Paxton cooler setup)... blow-through configuration. I'll report back soon.

I just ordered one without the maf, I'm switching to a blow through maf setup and going to run a race bypass to the atmosphere and a 3.4 pulley. It will be dynoed in a couple weeks. I'm curious to see if i'll have to buy another filter for it, or if that one will work without anderson's maf.

would be a great mod if it did in fact increase boost on the non-intercooled by 2-3 psi.. correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it a 20 whp increase with every 1 psi? Thats insane. I wouldn't doubt it judging by the size those pics.. in real life I bet you could stuff a whole litter of baby kittens in there lulz. 
meth injection with that power pipe would be friggin nuts! 490whp no problem I bet..

if it fits, does it still need a new tune? or does the MAF housing from the oem Vortech intake work as well, and the pcm just compensates with more fuel with the added air flow??
