Just finished installing mine. Was not fun.......My hands are beat to crap. Broke the oil pressure switch. Bumped it ever so lightly and it snapped. Also broke off 1 fuel injector harness. Wires where kinda brittle after 11 years in the underhood heat. Had to replace all the PCV lines and PCV valve too as they where all rotted. Rock solid idle now (alot of leaks in the old tubing). Gotta wait for the wife to get home to take it for a test spin.

5 feet 3/8 fuel/emissions tubing, brass T, band clamps and some odd pieces of tubing to remake the PCV valve rubber boot.

I have a 98 and it bolted right on. Just got to change the aft passenger side engine valley cover bolt with the supplied button head. Also loctite all the bolts on the bottom of the intake, so they dont vibrate out.

OOO Nice look`n intake`s . I was looking at these & was wondering are they smog legal ??
Just looking at the tube that runs atop/ behind a factory TB do you remove it when installing the BBK or is it still there ?? . .

I had to use the LS6 coolant tubes for my BBK intake to fit, even after replacing the replacing the rear passenger side valley cover bolt with a button head bolt.
I didnt hammer the pipes flat but just made them sit on the valley cover flat. I didnt have to remove anything from the sensors. You can though, probably would allow it to sit flatter.
