I was able the purchase the piping and connectors separately, even though they do not package or catalog them that way. I contacted Airaid's sales department directly by email, then placed the order over the phone.

Again....WHAT LAW....there is no such law as far as I can find
Mfgs set the Limit based on Liability & fear of Lawsuits

Well it is probably not wise to sell a vehicle that can out speed its tires.

You're safe, I've driven mine faster than anyone on here multiple times with stock driveline and tires. Yes it's not very smart at all but in short burst you will be ok.

If you run at 100mph please do it on a track. Don't put others at risk.

Like feathermerchant lol it never fails.
