Merry Xmas all, am in need of the short intake pipes as have fitted 3.0 cams into a 2.5, I already have the 3.0 plenum but someone forgot to post the pipes with it :-X, need the ones where it fits into the ICV valve. Please no silly prices !!!
Now back to the festive drinking Ho Ho Ho !!!

So do you have the long or short 3.0 plenum?

Way I read it...
Op has long plenum but needs the short pipes to match...

Yeah, that was my "if I had to guess" option, but since it was posted on Xmas day, I wondered if some sherry had been consumed ;D
I have a set of the long pipes which are probably not what's needed.
Out of interest.. is there any benefit using the 3.0 long plenum on a 2.5 (even one with 3.0 cams and divider)?

Gives a smoother airflow into the plenum at a guess, which is a good thing...

It does however require the longer throttle cable to be fitted as well...

No, stick with the short plenum, which is better tuned to 2.5. Long plenum better tuned for 3.0/3.2,

Yeah, my understanding was that the plenum was extended to improve low rev torque on the 3.0 and that the 2.5 doesn't have that issue.
I'd expect putting the long plenum on a 2.5 would effect top end.
