got the airram today.
I'll try to get it installed in the next few weeks.
And test for power gains in the dyno.

two of the hose fittings are bent and broken.
I've been able to easily unscrew them from the intake manifold.
I can buy and replace them here locally, no problems.

Does anyone know is they are made of copper?

brass, copper, aluminum, s'all good.

Can you take a picture of the back of your airram, specifically the piece of metal with the hole drilled out to mount the throttle cable for the adjustment point.

My was so fuxxored up, I want to see if ALL airrams come like that.

For the fittings, you don't even need one of them, so no big loss. The others you can get out of brass at any local hardware store.
