yea...reason its so long is i bought the kit used, and some of you know my little fender hole and i was just paranoid where vortech wants the filter to sit, would be right under that hole, and if it rained, i might do something i wouldnt like.

and i think jeff meant that since the air is being pressurized by the s/c that the engine is not losing any power...but you may be right with me losing boost...anyone else?
