Gotts intake modification
Just did my second Gotts mod. For both trucks I just used 3 1/2" OD ABS (black drain pipe). Cut it to length, chamfered the ends, heated the fender end over the gas stove until it was soft enough to form into an oval, and heated it again so it was soft when inserting into the fender cutout. Then I slipped the other end into the factory accordion fitting, no adapters or hose clamps necessary. Since I had the pipe on hand from an earlier plumbing project, the cost to me was zero!
In both cases the net effect was pure placebo. No change in performance, mileage, or sound. But I feel better knowing it's there!

Did the Spectre tubing install.
Went the local Auto Zone and asked about the Spectre tube.
The manager asked if I'd take the chrome one? He just wanted to get it out of stock. He noticed my Air Force veteran plates on my truck and
he said since you are a vet I'll give it to you for $10!!!
SOLD!!!

Did the mod for 2 trucks a couple weeks ago. Never noticed much improvement from either. I dont understand why they didnt do it like that from the factory. I took out the existing rubber piece and used a 3 inch coupler to tie them together and I think it looks a whole lot cleaner!
you can remove those baffles and you will be left with a few holes (3). then you can cover the holes with plugs of that size available in lowes. you will have to glue them with silicone or epoxy.
not my picture:

2" test/knock out cap, a 1.5" test/knock out cap & a 1" plug

1x of each plug size listed, can anyone confirm this?

Alrighty guys. Im going to try this tomorrow when my truck get back from the brake shop. But noone has really answered a question that a previous poster asked. If you increase the size of the hole in the fenderwell, can you use a larger size hose and increase the airflow even more or is this even possible or recommended?

Hope this makes sense.
