Default Did a little work to my C5....*Pics*
Made my own ram/cold air. I refuse to pay $500 for a damn cold air kit. The one I had didn't fit very well anyways, so I cut some holes in the radiator shroud (basically the same thing Callaway does) to set the filters down further. Now it fits perfect and get way more cool air. Also, I still can't believe that I can actually feel the difference lol...



View from underneath...






I also installed an NOS plate kit :ph34r: Jetted for 125 shot right now, I'll tune it and throw in the 150.



Anodized bottle and NX heater...



Custom switch panel I built...

Nice, I have a question for you about the holes. I have a Halltec CAI. I actually cut away my radiator shroud underneath the filter, much like yours. Does anyone know if there is a water ingestion problem if you get caught in the rain. Thanks Mike F.

A CAI mod is definately one of the noticable ones.

I don't think so, unless you hit a very deep puddle everything should be ok...
