I've found that Air Flow Systems has great prices and a lot to choose from.

Looks good. Gains are probably minimal but has nice increase in area. People say the cylinder to cylinder variation is the main issue.

I used my old 3 1/2" downpipe to make my intake elbow - it's in my avatar. I measured the perimeter of the top of the toaster grid and found it was exactly the same as the circumference of a 3 1/2" circle. So a little heating and reshaping of the pipe and I had a rectangle to fit the grid pattern. I cut a flange from 1/2" plate to weld onto the pipe. Craig

Mine was really easy - picked up a 2nd gen horn from the salvage yard.

Be sure to get the longer bolts with it if you go this route.

That's actually rather ingenious, and not a half bad job either.
