Bill,

Thank you for publishing the mod and putting it where others and lurkers can find it easily. Thanks to everyone else for outstanding contributions and their great job. Also, I remembered something KISS. Won't let that go again!

I've got a request in for a little flowbench time. I'll test the mod exactly as it's shown, versus the stock. I'll even try an AEM panel filter I have with it and a Brute Force intake as well. Should be a nice comparo

Jim, that is exactly the setup I am running with the AEM dryflo panel filter and the DWV intake mod. I am very curious to see the results. Thanks for taking the time to test this for everyone.

The 3 inch pipe is in what section of the store? I have never seen black PVC before?

It is black 3 inch ID ABS DWV pipe from the plumbing section.

Look or ask for ABS drain waste vent pipe in the plumbing section. Its commonly cheaper than pvc and only requires a one step glue. The pipe is already black and the glue is usually black also. Not all hardware supply stores carry ABS pipe for it may not meet plumbing code in the area they are selling it in. Why keep it on hand if no one can use it.

Yea looking on the website I don't think they carry that up here in Wisconsin.

Here's the 3" piece of flex PVC I used:

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.
