My 1987 300D
Alrighty. Went to harbor freight last night and got a 4" grinder and a few other goodies (that will teach my wife to leave the Sunday paper laying around without yanking the HF ad out). I went to Advanced Auto for some new silicone adapters but alas they did not have a 2 -> 2.5". I figured it was time to go to the source:
Its about 45 min away from me. They had a few cool cars out in the parking lot (I didn't get a close shot wanted to get the car done).
And they had one of these in the front window:
The 2"->2.5" adapter is just long enough that with a 2.5" ring welded into the OE intake pipe it will all fit with one nice piece. The blue crap I got at AA is not nearly as good as the stuff at summit. I forget the name but its fabric reinforced, thinner, and clearly better quality. I have a 90' of the same stuff from older projects.
Still no boost or EGT gauge hooked up. I am not hitting 16psi (yet) but I have been keeping it pretty minimal lacking the EGT setup.
