Hard to tell... its so HOT out here right now, very humid too! But it seems to sound a little deeper, and last night it broke the tires loose in 1st real easy. I think its working, I am happy with it.

Thanks, well after some solid advise I switched positions of the bend and the maf... Now its really working :D The car is definitly louder now and it seems to rev a bit harder! I also notice my idle is smoother, it has always been a tad ruff.

No tune yet... I am saving for a cam and hopfully I will have the cam and tune in by next spring-mid summer. The Lts and now intake have made a nice gain, its a different car!

How exactly is it getting the cold air? All I see is a boxed in filter with no outside air opening? I dont know what stock looks like so maybe im missing something?

In front of the box next to the washer bottel there is a clear shot from under the bumper that it draws in air... the stock box has a scoop the gets air from the front, but it draws in hot air. I can take a pic so you can see if you like.

Oh ok I see. It was just hard to see that there is any opening for outside air. Nice work and really nice car man :D

Where did you get that trim from that goes on top and bottom of the airbox? I've been looking at something like that all along and I could not find anything that nice.

You should look into also getting some cheap piping to complete the rest of the intake. A 90* coupler and some straight aluminum pipe will look much better.

Thanks guys, I will post another pic.. it looks little nice with the maf in front too. I actaully got the trim stuff from work, I work in a hospital and theres allot of weird junk around here LOL. Ya I plan on finishing the tube off some time, I am happy... it looks like I bought it, I allready had a guy at the show as me were I got it from. The temp drop the last few days and the cars running like a rapped ape! I smoked some GTO lastnight too, the car feels and sounds great!
