Cutting, welding upper intake to align with ATT

[Big T]

Anyone got photos, suggestions on how to cut and weld the upper intake pipe to align it with the ATT. I recall someone posting pics of this mod, but can no longer find the old pictures. What would be the required angles to pull this off?

It would require an S shaped modification as it's off in 2 directions. My ? Is why would you want to? Silicone boots look pretty good and are more than adequate. If I was going to go to that much trouble I would start from scratch and make a whole new upper intake.

Because the Silicone boots eventually stretch out over time and blow off.

Not all silicone is created equal

mine never separated and are still holding up. i used 2 OEM boots. i cut the factory upper, used the cutoff piece after i cleaned it up, then joined em.

Only way to go for avoiding two 45* silicon elbows is to get the Peninsular upper and then fabricate a 3" pipe.

Although, both solutions still need two silicon pieces . . .

Or, maybe go with a radiator hose like like we did when we first installed the ATT and could not find the two 45* elbows.

It would be cool to have a Vband clamp, but to get to that point would be expensive.

Millions of semis out there with silicone making the connections- just not cheap silicone. Not the place to save $5.

Never had silicone stretch or not work. Would recommend it hands down. www.siliconeintakes.com for my stuff

if you look through some of my old ATT threads, particularly the ATT BD Spool Valve thread, I got pictures in there showing my modified intake I ran.
