Cool

Bob Lee sells them............
Rotated intakes

The whole point of the 90* rotation is to make it easier to plumb an intercooler. You could make your own plumbing using steel or stainless steel tubing and silicone transition hoses or get one of Stinger's kits........................
Intercooler tubing

The upper intake flange is cut off, turned, and rewelded. Or could do like me. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w...5/100_5931.jpg
