wow that is a great idea...I just completed my Poboy's TB. I took
everything off the top of the TB. The bolts can be used to align the Hat
vent. The "S" bolt is used to keep everything down. One problem would be
how to hold the hat vent down (since your hat vent would be coming from the
top center). This is a great idea (I will be one of the first people to
test his if you would like! :) Good luck...keep us informed!

Subject: DML: New air hat
I have been thinking of machining a new air hat for my
99 3.9 to make optimum use of the K&N po' boy air
intake system; and would like some imput from the
knowlege and experience base of the DML.
Several questions come to mind.
1. is there a reason air is supplied at a 90 degree
angle to the center line of the TB.
2. Are the four tabs sticking up around the perimiter
of the TB important beyond aligning the existing air
hat, and could they also be removed to aid in air
flow.
3. Has an optimum volume been set to optimize flow
into the TB.
4. The angled top of the air hat; what does that do
beyound forcing the air down at the oppisite side from
intake.
I plan on machining this in two pieces. one being a
base plate, and the second being a hat with intake
tube.
If it works out these could be molded on composite, or
injection molded if enough DAKers are interested.
My goal is to get rid of that 45 degree bend in the
imput tube and balance the air flow into the TB.
By using a seperate base plate this one unit can be
supplied for all the DAK TBs.
