Osiris - let us know how the air straighteners work out.

Someones modified his Y pipe.. Its got 2 flat plates welded into the intake side. Looks like who ever had the kit before him had issues too, and tried to fix them. I don't think he will use the air straighteners.

Man all that work pulling the front apart.. Damn..

Okay, So that must be part of Stillen's solution to the problem in addition to the shield.
I would have been seriously irritated/pissed off, as I am sure you were - I can only imagine the silent (or otherwise) stream of invective that discovery must have caused.
Unfortunately there were no available pics of the intake tube ends like the one you posted. Hopefully you can label it so an image search for "Stillen supercharger CAI" can find it.
Stillen's proposed solution has to do with air recirculation in the emissions control system. It won't help with California street legal cars but it might benefit you as you live in Florida. They are testing it now, I hope to hear from them this week.

Not all of them have this....Nut_N_Much's Y pipe is completely open, no lateral fins like on mine.
