Now
if the tubes were cut down so the IN600's overall height was
made as low as it could 'easily' be made its overall height
from this point would be around 16"
You
can carry on and go shorter than 16" by useing staggered
tube lengths, probably to around 15", but the absolute Shortest
the IN600 can ever be made is with even tubes and is 14 5/8" (requires
careful trimming of ram tube tops where they converge as the
tubes are lowered)
The above way of measuring things
up is the most accurate way of figuring the installed height
when there might be a height restriction or a hood or whatever
in the way.
You should be able to get a get a
pretty accurate measurement doing it this way
SHIPPED
WITH A 2 1/2" HIGH AIR FILTER ELEMENT
You
can change air fiter element heights
inside the IN600 when installing,
you can go to a lower 2" filter
element if your intake manifold carb
pad is a up around the 5 1/2",
or even a taller 3" element
which can be more desirable in larger
engines but you will need a manifold
lower carb pad height of around 4
1/2" or below, this
option can also be used in the
installation to compensate for different carb
pad heights on the many different
manifolds but REMEMBER
AIR FILTER HEIGHT DIFFERENCES WILL
NOT CHANGE THE actual OVERALL HEIGHT
OF UNIT.
HEIGHT OF IN600 ABOVE CARBURETOR NECK
Below is the height of the
unit above the carburetor neck (where
an air filter would normally sit on)
with a 2 1/2" filter installed (as
shipped). This measurement is not necessarily
the height that you can determine for
the finished installation through the
hood because in some installations
you may have to put a spacer under
the carburetor to raise it during the
installation if your manifold has a
low carburetor pad height. Measuring
IN600 installed height
'section above' is better for determining
finished installed height
From Carburetor
neck to top of IN600 with 'even tubes' 13 1/2"
From Carburetor
neck to top of IN600 with 'staggered tubes' 15"
MEASURING FROM CENTER OF CARB TO FRONT AND BACK
When the StreetInduction is mounted onto the carburetor
The basic measurement from
the center of the carburetor
to the front of the base is approximately 7".
The basic measurement
from the center of the carburetor to the back of
the base is approximately
8".
These measurements are taken at the lower part of the StreetInduction base area.
THE TUBES ARE:
2 1/2" Diameter Aluminum
Long tubes
7 5/8"
Short tubes
5 7/8"
* Shortest
that tubes could physically be cut to
- 3"
With the ram tube tops on they are
Long tubes 10"
Short tubes 8 1/2"
Tubes then insert into induction
body 1", so their effective length sticking out, with the ram tube tops, is 9 3/4" for the long tube, and 7 1/2" for
the short tube.
STAGGERED OR EVEN TUBE ARRANGEMENT
The tube lengths as supplied with the StreetInduction are 4 long and 4 short, If you want to run an even system you just cut the 4 long ones down to the same length as the short ones.
If you have already decided that you want to run an 'even tube' setup let me know and I will ship it this way so you don't have to do the cutting.
If you are undecided, you can leave the unit to be shipped with the 4 longs and 4 shorts and then when you get it you can put the 4 short tubes in the front and have a look and see if you like it like that.
The ram tube tops just slip on nicely so you can play around with the desired height and once you have decided on finished height, you then use clear silicone to fix them permanently to the tubes.
Don't forget to spend the time to carefully wipe the tubes clean from excess silicone and finally use a solvent to fully finish clean things up.
