Default Cold Air Intake

Got my new Halltech Venom II installed. With our 105-107 degree temps we may not get any cold air until February!

Good looking unit.

I went with the Vararam, but I bet yours was easier to install.

I had a street dyno tune after adding LTH and X-pipe. I don't think I'll spend the $$ for another tune just to see what little the CAI added.

Looks great.I dont know if you considered modifying the shroud, but that Haltech may be much more effective if you had an opening in the radiator shroud. And you could also pick up a used shroud from parts section of the forum, Ebay, etc., in case you decide to go back to stock. Just sayin.

Add VHB tape under the scoop flange to round off this mod and you've got a 40 degree intake temperature drop.
