I tried to adhere to the KISS principle during the whole development process for this mod.

This is what I found from the Homedepot site. Would this work? is it the same thing as Lowe's. Looks different.

Have a look

I don't think it will fit the outside diameter of the female coupler. That transition is meant to fit the outside diameter of 4 inch pipe. You may be able to order the downspout connector over the web.

It's kinda similar, but not the same. The thing at Lowes is a PVC connector. The reducing coupler you found at Home Depot is rubber. I don't think it will fit into the fender hole.

I think if you don't have a Lowes nearby and you want to make the mod using the approach kd4crs did, you should order the Lowes part over the internet.

where to buy and what size caps/plugs did you need to cap off where the baffles were? Is it louder now with the baffles removed?

Here is a pic of what I came up with (hopefully the pic works):

Got them from Lowes. I'll try to get the sizes for you tomorrow. I have not noticed a difference in sound, but I'm still using the stock air filter. There might be a difference with a K&N replacement filter...but not sure.

Agent Orang: Did you ever make a parts list of the pices used in your adaptation? If so, could you refer me to the post If not, could you list them. If you do, I will flow bench your mod too. Thanks.

1-1/2" Lasko SCH 40 Cap , 1-1/4" SCH 40 Cap- item #'s and prices are unknown because the pieces did not have a price tag on it and the guy at the register did not want to bother with it, so he gave them to me.

Forgot to add Black RTV Silicone used to adhere the caps to the tube and flat black spray paint.

Well got everything in and looks great! We'll see how she runs next weekend. By the way where's a good place to get a AEM dry flo replacement filter.
