Default Zip Tie

I am performing this as we speak. This is a great Idea. I have my template cut and getting ready to make the dreaded cut to the shroud. I'm a little nervous I will screw up.

I'm also thinking about a gear in the rear end. I have a 98 automatic. What would you suggest for that, and how bad will it kill my gas miles. Most threads say a 4 10, but they all have 6 speeds. Thought you might have some insight.

On another note. I was just in Anderson the other day visiting my wifes relatives. Small world. Have a good day.

Thanks

I finished up this mod and it looks great. Amazingly like stock. I haven't had a chance to take it for a spin yet, but soon.

Thanks for the heads up

Is this to increase HP? If so, how much?

Essentially it is the bottom and filter frame of the stock airbox flipped over, fitted into a hole cut into the radiator shroud. All held together tightly using Zip Ties and the stock clamps.

Here's one I've been thinking about. I'd like to hear from anyone that has done it. Also, has anyone modified their H-Pipe to an X-Pipe?
