Cheers

No matter what abuse it had on track, the intake was always cold to the touch.

I could be wrong but I believe Mike got that hybrid intake off JonnyC and it's not an Evoms one.

Post by: tony_danza on August 25, 2013, 08:08:44 pm: Yeah, that's pretty much right. Shorter length on the S pipe to allow for a good cold side position.
