Ram Tube Options

[snot35]

A reverse lip is a different ball game!

 

I doubt you'll notice a whole lot of difference with the types of entry. I'd go with whatever fits, is available and within budget. Then make sure they're getting plumbed nice cool air. Unless you're chasing a whole lot of power over a narrow range then length probably isn't quite so critical.

Yeh but that's the exhaust, totally different scenario. Remember that's usually coupled with tuned length headers designed to scavenge exhaust gasses as well.

well after searching through yahoo japan and all the ebays, and not finding anything that that was in reason of price and dimensions. i finally found a site that has 40mm dcoe ram tubes at around $55 a pair. ill add the site to my post later on...

Thanks alot for all your help :jamie:

Yeh, there's generally heaps of stuff available for both 40 and 45's. Getting stub stacks at less than 20mm is DAMN hard though and that's all I can fit in mine!

Well, if you can't cut these down, how about the $12 Honda ZR plastic stubs guys were using??

Ive got some 80mm ones on the webers in the torana, but I'm swapping to triple oval cleaners for a bit more filtering

[toyota_ae71]

lol i just found those actually. except I'm going for the 43mm long ones. As the 2tg would rather the revs then torque :)

I'm trying to contact the guy to refund my order but he doesnt seem to be answering.... :)

[toyota_ae71]

Finally got in contact and a full refund was given to me :P brought the ones off ebay yesterday morning, and just installed them 15minutes ago. AMEN to 'express post', whilst I'm on the subject i also brought a sychrometer to tune my solex's and i must say its alot easyer to do than everyone says. although i read through the guide on toy mods. btw I'm only 15... 16 on saturday tho ha, but it runs ALOT better than before.
