i love blow thru!....just dont get cheap connectors (home depot) and have them explode on you. oops!

Has anybody installed the 3.5" mas on their car? If so, where did you get your reducers as I'm having trouble finding them.

Thanks.

 

[rick]

so blow through is actually a good idea? hwo about tunability? are there any issues with the blow through setup?

 

[Tallen]

i hear it fits great into a 2G MAS tube
check:
www.turbohoses.com and www.bakerprecision.com

 

[rick]

ok, so i guess i will go with blowthrough then. any one else have an opinion?

ChanJr has a blow thru and its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sweet hearing that BOV coming before you c the car. its a "i'm here mike" signal for me to jump out of the car (the talon i'm NEVER gonna fix) and open the gate for him. if you have any questions he is happy to answer em (he knows alot about these cars). hope that helps.

BTW-i'm doing blow thru also so i can tune AND put the sweet RFL on it

What kind of intercooler pipe does he have for the blow-through design?

I dont know if this was suggested, but why not use a header reducer from hedman or hooker that they sell for domestic V8's?
just remove the 3 bolt flange(it slips off) and weld it onto your existing upper IC pipe after the BOV. Its radiused smooth for exhaust, and it has a flange already on the end, so your coupling (3" to 3") wont blow off at high pressure.

Like this : http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=FLO-R3025 Its what I plan on using when I set up mine, after I set up my IC pipes for my FMIC in steel.

If its already common knowledge, sorry.
