so i was messin around with my spare car parts and noticed the intake boot shrinks way down right before the mouth of the throtle body so i grabed a 2" pvc 45º fitting and carved it up till it fit inside the intake boot i heated up the rubber and streched the rubber of the intake till it fit 20141227_174754_zpssdxyexm3.jpg

 

it seems to have more throtle responce off idle so i think its worth the $2 and 10 min to at least try it

its open all the way through the intake boot you can actualy see through from one end to the other

Does the hood hit when closed?

 

It might on a non lifted rig.

it would be very close but i think it would clear ill check on my buddys car it seems to help more with light throtle than wide open

some of those PVC pipes you inserted go all soft from the heat of underbonnet - but good idea - you seem to have taken a soft baffle effect from the air flow meter - resulting in better light throttle response (maybe not even a dyno could detect )

Update The intake boot ended up slowly spliting open the longer i drove the worse it got till the car wouldent run anymore and the intake boot was wasted oh well

You could plum it with a 90 degree silicone bend and tube if it really made a difference.

 

[EDIT] from above ^^^ it seems like this might hit the hood? Oh well...
