I'm not going to take the tube's off, I'm going to go back toward the motor from the radiator support to where they start to narrow. cut them off there and add a bigger tube of some type to go through the radiator support, even if I have to do some mod's to get it through. It's just my opinion, but I think I can deliever more air with 2 - 2.25" to 2.5" pipes than 1 - 3 inch pipe.
