Message .... and recirculation ports.

Yesterday I posted our complete pipe set and had numerous requests to build a new version of the pipes that run underneath the headlamps which bring the filters inward towards each other. This will eliminate the tight 90-degree reducing elbow that is used with the Selin Dual Intake System and replace it with a straight reducer. The mounting of the filters is much better with them sitting in a level plane a bit higher and out of the path of high-speed incoming air that causes small hesitations in engine operation while cruising.

The first shot at the pipes did not include the recirc ports and I took another swing at it today to see if we could make this possible. Happy to say, it was no big deal to make it work.

(And yes, these new pipes work with stock recirculation valves, although Z1 units are shown)

Here's the pics:

I also put the final set into our test car and took installation images. We will be dyno testing this car tomorrow (finally) to see the improvements have at the ~400RWHP level.

We will have this layout as an option for the kit.
