Looking to Modify Intake

[icoulabeenav8]

I have the intake depicted in the photo. Because of placing of parts, I need to go to a 90 degree bend into one intake tube, instead of the 180 degree red circled one-into-two type which I guess was originally supplied by FF. Does anyone know where to get that piece?

To me, it looks like some custom turbo air flow tubing I've seen. The pieces that flow into the intake, it appears to be two 90 degree bends that had the tops shaved down and then welded together to form a single tube. On my supercharger system, I laid out my piping and I had a friend with an aluminum welder weld some of my pipes together and adding bungs for the blow off and wastegate in my system. What I did was cutting the pipes like I wanted and then after I taped them into the exact locations I wanted , I placed some reference marks for the welder so he could re-assemble them properly. I got them all back in a couple of days and fit the pipes together. You are much better with cutting this like in the picture versus a T since this directs the 2 air flows into a common direction prior to the merge versus on a T the 2 incoming air flows impact each other prior to going down the single tube flow. It looks like a nice piece. Look on sites like SiliconeIntakes.Com for their aluminum piping and you can piece what you want together.

OK, that was a photo I used to illustrate the point, but not actually of my car. I dug out an actual photo of my car with the 2-into-one fitting circled. I always thought this particular intake piping was what came with the kit (I'm not the original builder) because I saw so many. If not OEM from factory Five, was this some sort of group buy? What I am doing is removing one complete side of the intake and just need a 90 degree curved piece piping marching the original piece's diameter.212431

Yes, that was an official option for the GTM from FFR. Not sure if yours is, but pretty sure the pic in post #3 is. I'll second TBull's suggestion on siliconeintakes.com. Should be a combo of silicone elbows/reducers and alum pipe from that site that you can use to get rid of the T and just use one side. If you're engine uses a MAF sensor installed into one of the intake tubes, they might already have one side blocked off and is just in there to look nice....
