Its a 4" mandrel steel exhaust tube, mated to a 45* PVC part, to the MAF, to the K&N. Works very good and paints up nicely. I'll taka another pic from another angle and show my nitrous plumbing.

How accurate are your Gtech times?

My custom intake is really similiar but it uses a rubber 90 and 45 bend and 4" aluminum tubing. It also connects to the stock air box location but requires electric fans. I can take a pic of it for you at half-time. Michigan State vs. Michigan game right now.
