Yeah. it would be pretty easy to do. the stock thing is kind of restrictive and ugly though. making one will be pretty easy and i can do about anything i want at that point. ill probably go the 3 tubing route since it is about as much cross sectional area as you can get and still fit on the grid heater. but ive been tinkering with a sheet metal idea too. that would look coolest, made from AL or stainless. but then i have to make a square to round transition, and they can be ugly when they are that small.

ill figure something out, but i think i want to ditch the stock stuff either way. it'd be real nice if i could use a 24v intake plate. that would put the inlet one set of bolts farther forward and totally fit perfectly. but then i have to redo all the injector lines, and that sounds like a bunch of poo
