That should work pretty good. If it didn't cost much maybe get him to bend up some 3.5" pipe then the bends will be over 3". I don't think it will be a big issue though. I didn't notice much power increase with the intake right away it always seems to take a week later to find out if it made a diff.
The cams are good. More low and mid range power so far. I don't bother to shift down when passing people. Even with my bike in the back heading from the city. A desent improvment IMO. Can't speak for top end or quater mile times as the roads are still a mess. Certainly seems to hit harder at that 2500rpm when the engine comes alive.
2001 RC 4.7 5sp 9.25" 3.92 LSD
Ported 68mm throttle body, IAT adjuster, 3" flowmaster cat back, TPS @ .76V, 4" cold air, Roadmaster active suspention, Removed Third cat. Electric fan Convertion, HO cams installed.
Working on adjustable fuel pressure with return.
