i actually cut the factory hood and raised it and then glassed it back in...so its basically a 4 inch cowl induction now...i have clearance now for the rpm airgap intake nitrous plate and a 14x3 inch k&n air filter.and yes the exuast sounds great i love it you will too.

I mounted my msd box where my burp tank for my rad was on the right fender and got a overflow bottle from a smaller car and relocated it to the bottom right cord by the rad it worked out nice.It worked out great because i used electric fan instead of belt driven so the shroud wasnt there leaving lots of room.
