Judging by the distance from the top of the fender to the wheel opening, 4" is believable. And after playing around with some pics I have of a stock Mayfair, I'm thinking that a 5" or even 6" section might be even better than the 4" that I had originally planned. I think the bigger section with the stock width will make it look low and lean. Can't say for sure yet, as I don't have the car right here in front of me.

Kevin, as for your "iron pipe elbows" idea, I'll have to pass on that plan. I do plan on making both the intake and exhaust out of steel tubing, if that counts!
