Help: 7MGE AFM into a 3VZE ** Need 3" ISR tube **

I am attempting the AFM swap from a 7MGE for my 3VZE.

At this point all I am lacking (and cant seem to find...) is a 3" ISR tube with the proper curve (welded ports would be a + )

Here is what I have currently:


That tube was bent by the local muffler shop and it wont fit properly...it hits the master cylinder pretty bad. That failed example cost me $40 bucks (they tried twice @ 20 bucks a shot )

Does anybody have a good source for 3.0 ISR tubes?


If you guys can help me out with the tube I can get you a write up + test results (butt dyno) of the infamous 7MGE AFM swap into the 3.0

Thanks for your time and considerations

I still have the 3" mandrel bends and 3" silicone hose...

What happened to the Downey tube? Too small?

Yep. Downey has the perfect chrome plated ISR tube with welded ports, all part of a kit but they will sell it seperate...only problem is - found out today that its a 2.5" tube.

Oh well....too many folks here have made ISR for the 3.0 and I know lots of folks want to see if this AFM will work. I figure someone out there will be willing to let me pay them to get another tube made like the one they have
