I'm no expert on plenum chambers but why so much over hang past the number 6 runner??

it actually looks lower, but i went the safe route and said it was a 1/2
"higher!!! Now does that convince you that its gonna clear the hood!! :). ill have pics of it mocked up in the car later on today.

Good idea. The short runner adds top end, at the expense of the bottom. Especially with the oversized plenums.

Something wrong with the stock unit?

Other than the crappy routing (long) for the IC, no.

Nothing wrong with the stock unit, this really cleans up the bay, and gains more power!, Easier IC pipe routing, and alot LESS piping also :)

FFIM do not clean up the bay. That has to be the biggest false justifications I know of. It is an opinion. And I have lots of those too.

Adding top end with shorter runners and a larger plenum so as to not starve the engine when the valves are only open for micro seconds is why it is done.

If you dont think that a FFIM cleans up the engine bay, then thats your opinion, and there is nothing wrong with that.

as for me, i sure as hell think it does and looks 10 times better.

i would say it would save pretty close to 2 feet lol. just a guess though.

At least that much and, no fender pipes with 6 curves to deal with. Probably loose a bunch of couplers as well.

How about the EGR? any provisions planed for that?
