Actually I would like to see one of the covers on a F-Body to see how it fit. I am considering one but hate to spend $300 for it and it look like ****.

I would really like to get a Weiand and have it chromed but I hate like hell to jump on changing the intake. And on that note does anybody know if Corvette FRCs will fit on a Weiand intake?

There was a SOM TA in GM High Tech with the cover. It looked pretty good. I thought a while back there was a company that made some in fiberglass to allow to paint it but I can't seem to find them now

I'm waiting on professional products to come out with their chrome covers to match my powdercoated blue typhoon intake. Thats the only option us typhoon guys have. I saw c5 covers in stainless on ebay before as well- no experience though.

This maybe a stupid question, but what is the piont if you are going to paint it anyway, why not just paint your intake? It is the same shape as the intake.

I dont think the cover covers the TB...just to the end of the intake. If it did cover the TB then you would have a problem being it was designed for a DBW TB and yours rquires a throttle cable.

BTW if you want to cover that hole for the EGR you can get a plate to fill it with...infact I got a brand new one from Specialized Stainless I will make you a deal on.

Just so you know we are talking about the same thing...the cover I have just a little triangular shapped piece that fits in the hole in the intake where the EGR pipe would have gone right behind the TB.

Its the piece I have in this pic with my car number on it....but its polished stainless:


I have no need for it so I would take like $10 for it....its brand new.
