Refer to title, let me know what you think. I'm not a profesional photogropher or even a amature. My camera sucks too.

Intake: did u feel any difference ? you need to custom the cover or something cause it looks empty in that Area and you havent drop your car right ?

It pulls harder on the highway thats for sure, basicly noting in terms of sound untill 2.5k. The but dyno is liking but theyre is room for improovement. I am still deciding on rims so theyre is no point for me to dish out 300 dollars for front tires (rear tires are in great shape) when in around a month I will have new rims.

Its all temporary, I am using the flex piping as a diagram. I am going to go to a custom exhaust shop and have them bend me the piping to my specs. The final result will be a y pipe going from the maf. Theyre will be 2 cones one by each fog light. all piping will be a mat black color and the factory airbox will be gutted and cut to hide the piping as much as possible. and yes it will all be heat wrapped for maximum performance. a heads up to klinh(sp) on informing of the bypass valve's. In the end its a big V8 most big v8's can make good power from a good cold air intake. I rather dish out 300-400 dollars and make something that will give me true gains opposed to buying a amg airbox.
