Hard to say, hence the post.

Tubing doesn't take much overhead to stock. And while the general public may not be aware, I've had alot of offline requests for help locating suitable tubing for the 92/93 SSEi'* and 92-94 L27'*.

It won't move as fast as the S2, but my gut tells me it'll sell. Make sure there'* a disclaimer on the page noting the need for a 3" flange on the filter. And you'll need to sell the aluminum sleeves for both ends also Todd. I can give you the dimensions of the TB'* if you want to throw a reducer at it.

I'd be curious to see you buy just enough materials for 5 FWI'* and see how long they take to move.

Edit.....those converting from a CAI can cut sleeves off their old rice-pipes. Or simply buy short 3" sections from an exhaust shop.

Vince, you need their traditional 3.5".

The 94/95 L67 is the same size TB as the S2 L67 (actually slightly larger).

I think you should, you would be increasing your target market, you would be appealing to everyone else.

do it.
