those readings are correct for that 5th gear, .871 is a very short gear, you should have sourced the 0.78 from the SG set, or even the 0.738 from the SG XT set, as i am doing a similar build, i have checked all the ratios extensively. there is a phone app called gear calculator you canget for free a...

nope,
its basically a DIY
some people have purchased other snorkels and adapted them to fit,
i got mine made a my local exhaust shop out of 2.5" mid steel,
then i got it powdercoated.

i have the profile for cutting the hole into the fender if you'd like it?
