Default New "Style" intake

How to get one over on the wifey...

Told her to expect a box from the Ups guy. She asks"What is it" I say "A new intake, no big deal" ...Box arrives, I say "Cool the new intake is here, can't wait to put it on." She says "Wow that's different. Pretty shiny silver. Better than the black one. " Well now there is a Magnacharger sitting in the Garage waiting on me to install it... Keep telling her its just a new style intake...

Yeah, I've been bad...Bought the car 6 weeks ago with 1900 miles on it. Since then I did Vararam, Kooks 1 7/8", cam 224/224 .581 lift, valve springs, tune, bought HP tuners...now the Magnacharger, pillar pod, boost and fuel pressure guages, MSD fuel pump booster. Going to be a busy weekend coming up. Oh well, she's happy I sold my NSX last week and she has her parking spot in the garage again
