Default Air to Air intake upgrade

Thought you all might be interested in an intake mod for the air to air kit. A fair bit of design and engineering went in to this over the last few months. Along with the air intake upgrade I had the supercharger rebuilt with upgraded Si trim impeller/compressor. The main benefit of all this is more torque in the mid range. Other benefits are a much bigger/better air filer resulting in better breathing, no need to remove the sc to replace the filter and much better/easier adjustment of jack shaft tension.

What diameter piping were you able to fit in there? 2.5"
