Default Who here can make piping?

Gentleman,

Who here can make me some piping from the airbox outlet to the throttle body on an FG XR6 n/a?

I want to get rid of the combustion chambers and have a wider diamater pipe, that still houses the air flow meter.

Thought I'd post it here to get the most traffic, PM me if your interested. Will pay $$

Getting rid of the combustion chambers? Air flow meter on an Fg?

Someones got some serious wires crossed here.

Any exhaust shop should be able to bend some pipe up to do the job, then get it polished.

Not the airflow meter, hence the "that still houses the air flow meter". Just remove the combustion chambers.

Aside from having 'crossed wires', do you have any reasoning for not removing them? They just seem to obstruct airflow.

Your combustion chambers are your cylinders, you sort of need them.

I think so, possibly referring to the one's Ford placed in the intake pipe of the FG, just before the throttle body. The were designed to tune out harsh frequencies.

Thanks to all those who were obviously born experts for their contributions. Clearly none of them had to learn by making the odd mistake in terminology - or more likely they didn't have the Internet to witness it.
