Hi all, got another one for ya.

Can anyone tell me if the volumetric capacity of the intake pipe between the AFM and throttle body is crutial to how the motor runs? Or can the intake pipe be shortened etc with no ill effect?

Shouldnt matter. As long as the section of intake is sealed so that no atmosperic air can enter or leave the intake after the AFM your right to go. Design is more impotant to avoid restrictions. Keeping bends smooth and to a minimum with clean airways :cool:

Yea shouldn't be a problem, as it is an AFM anything you do around it that changes the airflow will be accounted for and compensated. Also just a note, they do have finite range but keeping it N/A will be no problem.
