Re: AFM Modification

You arent understanding dude. The pipe becomes the AFM, the internals will sit on top (all the electronics for it), and instead of a flapper door, there will be a lil circular plate (like inside our throttle bodies) acting as a flapper door. But im saying its not going to be restrictive because its a damn 3" pipe.
All im doing is taking a 3" pipe and putitng the afm's electronics on it and putting in a lil circular plate that will be controlled like the flapper door onside of the pipe. Tell me if u get it now, otherwise i can show u some drawings. i know john bridge got what i was saying.
