I already have 2” black ABS pipe, so maybe a 2” id tube about 8-10” long might be adequate for my application. Might as well buy a handful of end caps and try a couple different sizes.
Yes on the tube... I have pics i can post tomorrow, it is nothing fancy, nipple with a coupler and thread lock in the cap.

The firewall pipe is 2ft, the other is 15". I originally had the other 9" end of the shorter pipe along the firewall and played with the airbox. I think the exhaust is now the throttle so to speak on the torque, the y-pipe stinks and is cut down a lot as it crosses the trans & transfer case area.

I am planning to make a new y-pipe in such a way as to adjust flow at the collector just before the cat.
