Thats not one of those tornadoes that you stick into an intake? Does that thing spin or is it stationary?

Like your new sig vq'rinwla, but I think your right that looks like one of those "fuel saver" things I've never seen one welded in but I'd say take it out if you can

Looks a lot like my Bomz SRI pipe but it didn't have that thing in it.

Cut it out if you can, that'll only obstruct the airs path into the TB.

I didn't think anyone had these with their intakes as bought like this. Guess I'll try to cut it out.

Got it from a local guy.
Does the curve side of the pipe go to the maf size or throttle body side? Car is outside and it's cold, I don't want to go look.

Curved side connects to the MAF.

I just picked up a midpipe thats shaped the exact same way. Im thinking maybe the TB side. Ehh its a 20 second trial and error step.

Is that thing welded in?

Because if it is, it might seem like either it was a junk piece of metal left over during the construction or its a what-ch-ma-call-it that helps rectify airflow or something?
