looks ugly though, your're right.  i think the HPS tubes are soft enough to accomodate the movement needed. it'd be funny if we started seeing HPS tube that were collapsing under the breather areas due to the engine movement.  in the stillen steup i think things are just banging around.
that is one area i am a little concerned about in my current setup... deformation. |
True true. This is where some solid engine mounts would come in handy. The coupler sleeves on the solid tubes where it meets up with the intake manifold are supposed to take up some of the slack there. I haven't noticed any problems with my Gen III's in this regard.
