I believe the squished pipe is actaully on the NW DCAI on the drivers side. On my car I had to remove the plastic inserts that the stock tubes connect to in order to run V8 tubes. The passenger side fit very good but the drivers side was smaller and a pain to get the tube in. the NW intake is pretty big since it only sees suction but the charge pipe for our kit only needs to be about 2.5" in diameter. It does need to neck up to the size of the Throttle body at some point. I don't know what Corky thinks about this but I would prefer it necks up just before it enters the engine compartment.
Thanks for starting the list! I hope guys will jump on board. If you are trully interested and can put down a deposit please let us know. Before a deposit is needed you will be much more informed and have a very good idea of what to expect.
