I will add something to this...
a few weeks ago I came across either a thread or a post about a guy who discussed his findings with the ISR mod and location of hose. He actually used data and legitimate testing to prove that removing the hose from the silencer box and placing it inline with a "T" on that other hose was the cause of lack of power. He then put a fitting on the his straight pipe and put the hose on that (just like it is originally on the silencer box, or how it would be on a CAI). But for what ever reason mostly everyone seems to go by the "how to" and dont realize that its not the best way to do it.
When I found this thread I really wanted to save it but I thought, naw I'll find it again when I need to. Well, no matter how hard I search I cannot find it what-so-ever!
Anyone know what i'm talking about or can help me find this. Its a great resource for the ISR mod!
