Glad to see you again, kd4crs. I like the looks of the new approach. Isn't this new tubing pretty similar to the "armadillo hide" looking stuff that you can find in most hardware stores for dryer ducting?

I remain convinced though, that despite Jim Allen's outstanding (and I mean that) tests of this mod, there are benefits to be had. I am absolutely certain I am getting better gas mileage than before - about +0.5mpg, to be precise. I can only attribute this to a more efficiently running engine. My driving habits have not changed.

- Jack

JackandJanet,

Hi, the Spectre Performance intake tubing is kind of like the dryer tubing but it is rigid and if you expand it, it stays in that position until you collapse it. It is actually designed as an intake product and does away with the DWV entirely. I have only heard 3 reports of the downspout connector having collapsed or turned inside out. I guess that is due to some of them being more flexible than others. I have run the DWV intake mod with the downspout connector on my trucks ever since I posted it with no issues. This new variation by formmt08 on f150online completely eliminates any possibility of collapsing or obstruction. I really like it so far.
