We have had quite a few of our customers request instructions for removing the fuel rail covers and plenum cover after purchasing our smoothie versions. Here is a quick session on how to do so.

Fuel Rail Covers
http://showstopperaccessories.com/pr...il-Covers.html

The fuel rail covers are just snapped in place using a rubber grommet style fastener. Start of by lifting upward more towards the plenum side and they will unsnap without using too much force.


Then, once you remove the fuel rail you will notice a wiring harness that is fastened to the plenum cover. They are just zip ties that are snapped into the plenum. So if you wiggle the zip tie upward, it should slowly come out. Sometimes a tool is needed to get this started. This is what it should look like once removed.


The next step is to remove a total of four 10mm bolts that hold the plenum in place. These also have a nipple at the top in which your fuel rails snapped into.


Lastly, there is one wiring connector that will need to be disconnected in order to lift the plenum off. Once this is done, you are ready to lift the plenum off.




Reverse the steps to re install everything. If you have any questions, feel free to pm me.

stupid question:
does removing the covers affect how the engine runs? seems like it would run cooler w/o them.

Thank you for posting that. That is good information.

Pete@Showstopper

No problem. Anything to help out the community.

How did you get the electric connector off that goes into the plenum cover? It has me baffled.

There's a blue tab on the right front side of the connector. You have to slide the tab toward the firewall. I used a small screwdriver between the connector and the tab to slide it over and remove the plug.

great looking gear!

Pete did a great job on my set. I've had a lot of compliments on this simple 30 minute upgrade.

Never gets old

They also have black flag emblems for your front and rear bumpers for a super cheap $375

Pete@Showstopper

Correct. We have been doing very well with those as well.

I have to confess I was being sarcastic when I said they were cheap.

They are very nice though.

Pete@Showstopper

I know. I'm used to the sarcasm around here.

Does any wiring have to be transferred to the new plenum cover?
It seems that if you have to disconnect the one wiring connector, it must be because it is part of the plenum cover.

Where did you get the stingray fuel rail covers from.

Pete@Showstopper

Wiring runs through the plenum which doesn't allow you to lift it. That is the only reason why you have to disconnect the wire.
