How does this kit compare to the ones with full tubes? I'm wondering if turbulence in the pipe effects performance in real world applications.

Well worth the money and the product does exactly what it states. Also keeping the stock tubes doesn't hurt the results. I added an exhaust, and a mass airflow chip and my total HE gains was about 68 HP. I have a 2013 300 with a 5.7 hemi. Gas mileage before was 13.8 and I can get the same while stepping on the gas. So it does help. If i drive my car normal I have increased my MPG by 4.3. Any more questions you can contact me directly at Justbecause246@aol.com.

The kits with the tubes obviously cost too much. Also, some of them are metallic and absorb heat. The plastic tubing does not absorb it as much. I love my Airaid. There is a new version for our vehicles that come with a new style box. I guarantee you will love it.

Compare the price/ not worth it/won't notice in performance/filter is bigger than most other brands/great product for the price

Save your money and get this one, I own a K&N; and the results were the same. The stock tubes do the same job.

The only difference could be the pipe size. I think they are all standardized...It should be fine.

I used 1 1/4" tube with the included pump and it has large flow. The filter doesn't hinder flow much if kept level with water. Extreme elevation will slow the flow. (Over 10 feet) check for blocks. Check the pump by itself

Yep... The tubes seem pretty sturdy, should have no problem. Remember the air delivers slowly, otherwise it would create steam, you don't want that. That's why it works so nice. Enjoy

I have been using Whink for 10 yrs. won't harm pipes. Works better than drano

&gt;&gt; JOHN W. This kit comes with three (3) adapters. Two of which are 1/2" outside Male Flare to male pipe. one of these two is 1/2" to 1/2' and the second of the two is 1/2" to 3/8" O... The third adapter is a 1/2" Male Flare to or "x" 3/8" Female Pipe ( #/8" O ) { Like a hex nut } I hope this helps...Johnny

I spent months trying to find a valve that behaved like a hydraulic valve used on pipelines. Was dismayed to discover that shower valves were required to allow a small amount of flow to continue in order to keep the water the same temperature when it is turned back on. To avoid cold water shock I suppose.Finally had to buy a less attractive valve from an industrial supply store that actually performed as I wanted, meaning full off or full divert.

Any updates on this guys? Do you know if 1, all 3, or none of these tubes support EF-S?

The hood comes in two pieces the first main one is 16 inches the second on that fits inside and slides up to make up the second stage is also 16 inches but figure you lose up to an inch since you should keep that much at the point that the two are joined together. Yes the exhaust tubing is plastic but I used it since I was dumping the exhaust right from the until to the ouside and a metal smoke elbow would not be enough to make it through the wall and to try to make up the difference with metal would have been more work then needed. If your going to discharge the exhaust higher up (more then a foot) then use the metal smoke pipe it cuts down on the loss of CFM since it us smooth inside where as the plastic is ribbed for flexing. By the way I also used a Broan 641 wall cap it works real good with this installation and has not only a backdraft damper but a bird and bug screen.

Sorry! Yes I didn't answer the question. I just thought it is the product review. It should be some problems 1) the pipes have air leaking or ground is not sealed well 2) fan is not so powerful.

It depends on what material are you using and how many elbows you may need. Rinnai now allow you to use CPVC exhaust pipe which gives you a lot more distance and cheaper and you could buy from many pluming store, not Home Depot. For air intake, you may use PVC pipe and you have plenty of room. I spent lot of time to find the facts( almost 3 months to prepare to get all informations, many phone calls to company and stores for expert opinion, finally I realized not many people know accurately even some doing this business ) which I could give you more if I have your email address since I became a kind of expert. I installed myself with a my semipro friend last november and am very happy so far. Company recommends their own trained technician, but their price is unbelievably high. If you are a handy man, you can do it like any other people. I bought most material from Home Depot except for adopter for CPVC and CPVC pipe. I bought this unit and adopter from Amazon, much much cheaper than stores ( almost double ) All together It cost about 2500$ or less. I still have charts for vent lengths some body e mailed to me, but some how I can't send to you by this, not working. Another thing before I forget, is your gas line which should fit requirement. You have to call your gas company whether you need to change your gas meter or gas line for BTU of this unit and location of this unit in your house. Distance from gas meter decides, usually it is OK but very important for proper function. You could find the chart from google.

My tube has "original" on it. I purchased it on line and it seems to have a lot of air in the tube which I told the company on line - don't know if it impairs the size of the tube or not. I never got a reply from them. Why do you like the tube without original on it?? Be more specific!

No difference in installation. In fact, I asked a plumber if my pipes could handle the increased trap size and increased flow and he assured me that it could.

You didn't mention anything about your setup, but I would advise choosing a smaller pump. You can certainly restrict the flow in any number of ways. The restriction will cause the internal pump pressure to rise thus in all probability decreasing the life of the pump. Of course this depends how much you are reducing the flow. Again, I would suggest that you size the pump for your project. All that said...it's only 20 bucks. Best of luck.

Anytime you drop a inch or two there will be a stiffer ride but with the progressive mono tube, Definitely not stiffer but absolutely better in all riding conditions. Best system out there.

Check the washers inside the anti-syphon and reducing valve. The one with the mesh may be clogged or twisted to block proper flow. I had a problem that they didn't seat properly and caused reduced flow. Also, if you run one head to the next using the 1/4" tubing, you will not get good flow on that line or lines. I took these out and ran direct runs from the 1/2" tube directly to each head.
