The inside Dia. of the 4.7L TB is approx. 66.67mm or 2.625", the outside
diameter, where the intake would seat is approx. 82.55mm or 3.25". The 3"
intake tube size is more than sufficient, and I would bet there is not much
difference at all in HP/TQ gains in any of the designs we are discussing,
even the "homemade" style similar to mine provides a substantial increase.

<Andy,
<The Intense intake tube is 3" O.D. The cross section area of the throttle
<body is a *lot* smaller, but I don't know the actual number. The Intense
<solution gets you lots of air, it just doesn't get you the cold air. But if
<you're talking about money, you're right - it's a lot cheaper to get some
<plastic elbows and pipe, or staying with stock. The stock 4.7 air hat has
<suprisingly smooth lines inside.

Looks are one thing. Results are quite another. Look at that Intense
carefully. You're taking a large filter capable of flowing a LOT of
air, and feeding it through a straw. You may as well save your money
and keep the stock setup. Run that setup for a year, pull off the
casing, and look at where all the dirt is - right where the hose lets
out.
