Default My First Mod!!!

Yay - here are a couple pics of my first mod on the car!!! I've also got B&B Bullets in the mail and will have them on ASAP!!

I bought the intake from CF Member mrm1149 - The transaction was excellent, thanks Mike! (Also thanks DHL for VERY quick delivery)

The filters are huge, and theres not much extra room in any direction all around, i'm guessing thats normal...

Any comments welcome!
Dan




Quad Tip Bullets bought bran new on sale from WCC for $588 only $619 shipped!!

I know... its bad... i've already looked at my Martin 000-15 Acoustic Guitar and seen a set of LT headers... or my Benelli Nova 12g and Ibanez RG421 and seen a Nitrous System... lol

I have too many hobbies, and i think the Corvette is gonna win....

Thats a good question... i bought it from mrm1149 and i don't recall him saying. In fact, i liked the look AND Price so much i just threw down and didn't even look in to that... lol I suppose i should check that out... hehe

I couldn't tell ya if it helps performance any yet as i haven't dyno'd it, and i haven't had it long enough to check gas mileage or anything... But you can ceratinly hear the engine sucking wind a lot more when you rev it!!!

Any idea who made yours then? I don't recall seing any emblems, or indication of brand on mine anywhere...

Keep those filters oiled too, before I had a hood seal the water would pour all over the filters in rain. You guys would never guess how much I paid for my intake....
