You dont need any adapters of any sort to swap a pi intake on npi heads, just a dab of silicone. I know because I have it.

no adpaters needed...just use pi gaskets..they in no way hinder any airpath what so ever...like clark said, just some rtv in 2 coolant ports and ur good togo...
My swap was a success. i havent really been able to get on it yet as the longer i wait the better..but its 0-30 was about the same but after that in the high rpm's you can feel the pi breathe..and at wot when my car shifts it bounces the rev limiter abit because the stock tune cant correct for the higher stall tc i have..so a few more mods, a tune and then just get the car looking good and clean..bodywork will be last..
