and as i said earlier my car is running a mild tune because i do not have a Heat Exchanger yet, after i get it, i will have it retuned by LET (who gives free retunes for life, unlike anyone else) and get more hp....

....ok i am done venting...

back to the cool intake
am not attacking you man, am just pointing out that your hp is.. well not up there with what an asp and ecu tune should be. You should gain anywhere from 30-40 hp from it. Yes it will give you trq, but where is the hp?
HE will not give you HP it will just help with the heat issue from the pulley.

Hope this clears it up for you, and i did say thanks for sharing the info

A slow Tahoe!
I think you lost power with the tune, just a pulley itself should generate more hp than stock. LET should have picked up on that immediately, on the other hand your ecu may have been flashed by MB.

HEAT SHIELD PICS!!!

here is the pic of the heat shield. the thing that the red arrow is pointing to is something that i did and does not come with the intake. I tried to use weather stripping to seal off the small area between the heat shield and the hood. Its brown unfortunately, but i am working on finding one that works!

if sound is all you want, DON'T spend money for it!!! just remove the plastic insulation seal attatched to the back/bottom of the hood.

Wont the heat of the engine w/o the insulation on the hood eventually fade the color of the hood?

the sound from the intake is more of a whining sound....

i dont even know if this can be achieved from removing the insulation
