Yep, it's big. I could actually go bigger I think. I have a Nismo bumper, and I've already gotten this setup test fitted with the bumper on. Topgunz said his design does not require any support removal, which if it uses a round tube, is going to limit the size of the tube/pipe. I've also seen the filter used and also the pipe in the picture posted. I'm sure it will be fine for most folks and quality and installation will be easier for folks. For my project, I wanted something different. A full 4" intake with massive filter and velocity stack, so that's the route I am taking. Unlike a turbo, an SC cannot work harder to make up for intake restrictions, like a bad intake/filter design. So, the easier it is to suck in the air, the more power it will make.

I have an idea for you, that I may use on my parts too. Coat your intake parts with truck bed liner. That might give them enough stiffness to prevent collapse, assuming it can get a good hold on the outside of your pipe, which might be a problem now that I think about it. In my case, it will add toughness and help to keep the 3D parts from breaking up and coming apart.

Do you know how/or if possible, to remove just the Supercharger and pulleys on the backside? Looking for room to slide stuff in the hole from that side of it.
