The Pull has deffenitly incressed. It feels and sounds real smooth. I havent been abel to get a good MPG reading because everywhere I drive I am testing the response.

I am sure that the MPG went up.


I want to put that air ram on but havent had the time. I think I will have to do a little creative cutting but I will keep you guys posted.

It just seems to me that that that intake would just get heat soaked. The engine bay gets so hot that thing is sucking nothing but hot air, just my opinion.

I always liked the Weapon R filter with the ram air attachment. The car is set up perfectly for something like this as well. I am attaching a photo of an area on the front bumper next to the foglight that has a punch-out panel. Punch that panel out, stick the ram air intake opening there. I have been tempted to get that filter and ram air attachment just because it's set up so perfectly.

Sounds good! I wonder how this will sound with my Magnaflow + 2 deleted resonators.

P.S. You are a crazy driver.
