Its fairly easy to do an a 99+ car as they have straight TB's , and you'll need a couple of parts to make it work on a 98 (angled TB) ..
I'll be doing this mod soon , the lid fits just fine , you just have to get a few pieces of flexible tubing to connect it to your TB.

In that pic it looks like something is connected to the end of the lid, right before the tubing to the TB. What is that?

MAF sensor?


Oh, I thought we were just naming random sensors located throughout the engine bay.

The red one is mine, the lid is made specificly for the v6. It has the inlet just slightly offset. The battery,fuse box, and pcm cover come from tss, other then that its just some painting and cleaning up.

Pretty simple what he did. Painted the intake, got red plug wires and new coil packs and cleaned everything as well as a few other odds and ends. Looks good none the less.

Or just leave it all stock like me and just wash it each time we have the sky turn brown. Needs a serious detailing in this pic of course.

Yup...all stock.

I think a painted intake looks good. This is my brother's car and I decided to paint his intake while I had it off to replace intake gaskets. I felt the need to mod something so I wasn't spending my time doing a repair only, I was modding something

That's the usual color scheme seen on any intake that has been pulled off Mine was powdercoated and then ran over the letters to expose the aluminum. Always looks sharp.

OP: Do the wire mod on both sides, Clean, clean and clean the engine. Hand paint the stuff on top of the intake manifold, Paint some plastics like the radiator support and lid, hide all the ground wires, stainless braid hose covers...That's all I can think of. I have YET to adjust the appearance of my V6 Bird's engine bay since I've been working on my WS6's, but that's what I'd do.
