Anyone who can confirm this, and anyone who knows if the conforti intake is longer than the racing dynamics one? or vice-versa.
Well if a intake drops down into the fender you dont have to worry as much about heat from the engine. And i think something too big over 4inches wouldnt provide enough pressure. Im thinking maybe 3 inches is a good size for an intake.
