Replacing the 3000pipe with 2.5IC

Bypass valve, you'll have to weld in a port if you plan on running the stock one. Or a flange if you plan on running an aftermarket BOV

no pictures from me, but you take off your stock bypass valve, cap off the port on your accordian hose and the one on your 3000 pipe, and you're set.
edit: missed the "replacing 3000 pipe" part. just cap off the port on your accordian hose after removing the bypass valve.

With an aftermarket BOV, you don't need that port on the 3000 pipe. When I get around to eliminating my 3000 pipe, I'll have already gotten rid of the stock bypass valve in favor of an HKS SSQV, so I'm just going to get rid of it.
I know that the TB intake is 2.75" OD, so that's the largest OD pipe it's worth getting to replace the 3000 pipe.

3" ID pipe is easy to find.... 2.75" ID is not so easy to find....
Just a thought.
And if you are running a vented to atmosphere BOV, and are still on the AFM, get ready for the backfires, and rough running... (Your venting metered air.. so the TCCS will add the fuel.. but the air will not be there.. BOOM goes your tailpipe..)

Still, I have the 2.5" pipe myself. I'll probably eventually run that straight to the TB, and adapt it to the larger OD of the TB input. It'll still get rid of the small inlet to the 3000 pipe, so I think it's all good.
I'll be using the HKS SSQV myself, but with the recirculation fitting so that I can re-route the air back to the intake to avoid the backfiring and stumbling at shifts.
