I'm getting it installed in the next three weeks and posting a Dyno Reading.
But it could be misleading because I'm upgrading other parts as well.
ported and polished cylinder head
lighter flywheel
manifold from t4turbotiburon

Yeah mine was bent too but hardly, and it was the first one of the three. If you only need two like REDZ says then unscrew the one that is bent and seal it with some epoxy.

It'll be faster, and MUCH louder, but the AUTO transmission is still gonna kill most of it.
No need to remove the damaged one, just get a Vaccum Cap. They are made out of rubber and go over un-needed vaccum nipples.

You can't use a nipple if you're boosting. It'll blow off. You need to remove the barb fitting and replace it with a screw in cap fitting. Even a bolt will do.

yah the nipples wont work, with vaccum thats all fine and dandy but when u hit positive boost, bye bye nipple, i have a few of mine capped off with a bolt and like 3" of hose right now, and then zip tied on the brass nipple...
neways dood, ull be fine, u can prob find a replacement at a hardware store, or just cap it off or w/e..
the air ram is sweet, the sound, and the gain from it is realllly nice.. didnt really get a chance to feel it N/A but what i did and heard was very nice and responsive, and with boost i cant really tell cuz i never had boost w/o air ram..

You want these:
These are from Aeromotive, but go to any plumbing or hardware store with plumbing supplies, and look for "port plugs". You'll most likely find either brass or stainless ones.
