I made a cowl intake that converted down to 2" for a few inches at the end, was pretty restricting. really brought down my mpgs and power.. I don't know if I wouldnt just run the 2" with no filter for a few miles just to test the waters before you make the dive of cutting a hole in your fender.. Why not go with the chinese arb snorkel? $120 bucks for looks and function

Really? Well I'm going to be running it to my stock air box and everything. My buddy has the same set up and he said its fine. Also googled it and a bunch of ppl have ran a 2 inch snorkel.
