Custom ported and CNC throttle bodies, upper and lower manifolds by Synergy Composite

Ok I did a little research.

The TB lip is 2.81" at its largest. That tells me the Z1 post tube is around that size ID since it has to slip over it. Now its not hard to slip over but it's also not that easy. So I'm going to guess the several inches of the z1 post tube is around 2.7ish inch ID.

Now the OEM MAF section is only 2.54" OD which is why you see a bulge. The post tube is being forced into a smaller size. The silver pipe is 2.5" OD with the same ID of the OEM MAF tube. So forget all pipe before that, I'm running about a foot of 2.35" ID pipe with the MAF sensor in it that then opens up into the post tube that's 2.7ish ID that then goes down into 2.6" (TB opening lip) then 2.48" (right at the butterfly plate and port matched into the manifold) of the TB.

So if I at least replaced the foot of 2.35" ID silver pipe and OEM MAF section with 2.75" OD pipe, not only would it fit pretty well into the z1 post tube but it'd also lower the huge gap (2.35" to 2.7ish" now, to 2.63" to 2.7ish) I have right now.

I do have one update. I haven't touched my mpg in a long time. Its normally 22-23. It's been a week or so since I put the parts on and I've been driving everywhere!! Work, 3hr trips, etc etc. I do 75-80 on the highway. I've got maybe 600 miles so far and this has happened...it's gone way up.

That's sucks about your tuner good luck with it, I did see a few 2.75 slip in Maf housings but I don't remember any weld in tubes

I just need the flange or a good section that's several inches. Where did you see anything?
