Fast intake installation
Bought a used fast intake that has the modifications done to clear the firewall to install on my 2005. Problem is in the instructions it says to change the valley pan bolts to the M8x30MM button head capscrews included with the manifold. I did't get these bolts as it was used. I wondered if you guys who have expeience with the fast knows if this needs to be done on the C6 as well as the C5? If I have to have these does anyone know where to get them besides buying them from fast?

Yes they are needed and can be found at local auto/hardware stores. I would try Lowes / Home Depot first

( Torque) the manifold down it will crack either right away or shortly thereafter. I seen one on youtube when those guys did a vid upon firing it up after FAST install. Comical but serious damage to fast. Get the right valley bolts. Good luck you will like the fast especially ported.
