It will not work well; it puts a serious angle in the flow of things and you might have a hard time clamping it on. I would buy a 45* silicone boot if I had to do it again.

I guess it depends on what you know about pressurized linear airflow. Mine was no where near lining up and the T bar clamp barely held the boot at that angle.

So what were people mentioning about making these 3rd gens sound like the 2nd gen 24V?

Because that would be sweet..............

TCR do you still have that second gen intake laying around?
