Get a rotrex and take the Radix head unit,pulley and idler off.
Use the radix intake and injectors etc as is and get a wilson or similiar intake elbow and have it mated to the radix intake.
Then I would just need a silicone elbow setup to get from the rotrex outlet to the intake elbow.
This would solve a couple of issues, first, the noise, second, lack of intercooling for rotrex,[I tow] AND assuming simliar psi, tuning could be near the same.
all the sensors, iat etc could remain in the radix intake manifold, fuel pump
is already in, intercooling is in place.
What haven't I thought of.......
Man, I wish someone would buy a Rotrex and give us some feedback.

I'd think it would be cheaper to take the radix completely off and get the rotrex. Then fab a simple FMIC for the rotrex.
The radix kit is going to be worth a lot more to someone if it's complete.
BTW, I put a radix on my truck too.
It seems to sound the same at part and WOT, just a little higher pitched at WOT.
