4" MAF on TTA (Fullthrottle)

Here are a few pics of the FullThrottle 4" MAF on a TTA. It'll require a bit of surgery to get it to fit right. THe pipe is a real nice piece, but it fits a Turbo Regal. But then what DOES fit a TTA?

Molten lead, poured slowly, will fit one.

<<Molten lead, poured slowly, will fit one.>>

I should have tried that instead of 3.5" oval tubing. It definately would have been easier. Almost as hard as some of the stuff I do on aircraft. I wish I could break my forearms and install another elbow. THAT would be too cool. But, then I would end up with all the crappy jobs. Oh, wait.......I already do. (like building oval crap on a TTA)

Just the other day, I thought...with one more elbow I could get my hand up in there....then I started worrying if it was going to come back out from as far as I was able to push it.

Here is the MAF pipe finished, less final polish if I decide to go that way. What go you guys think? Should it be polished or leave it satin? The last pic is how it use to be with a stock MAF and 3" tubing.

Seeing that you already have a chromed alternator, I'd probably polish it. Shiny is good. Nice work, btw.
