Default Just installed BG Ram Air

And the Butt-O-Meter says

It is certainly a pain in the lower-back to install, but when it is all together it is a perfect fit.

And cheer to Afterthoughts Auto who gave me a discount AFTER I already paid for it since they had a special I was unaware of on one of the forums!

When you consider the quality, it's worth it IMO. I tried the whole 'make it yourself' thing about 4 years ago with some foam & rubber weather stripping. When I got sick of how shitty it looked after about 6 months, I went with the BG setup. I've never regreted it for a moment. I love the kit.

I dealt with Brian Greene himself when I bought it, and let me tell you he's an all-around great guy. Top notch customer service.

I paid $259 shipped. This included the nostril corner pieces and the optional rain shield. It really is a well thought out, well constructed piece.

I could not imagine a more direct way (NA) of forcing air into a car's engine.

My only concern now if that I may suck up small birds

You can't go wrong with the BG Ram Air. It was the best thing that I did to my WS6 before the cam and heads.

Check your LTrims Tommy. You're probably running lean from moving so much cool air past that MAF. It was a back breaker to install but well worth the money and effort. I wish you luck with it.
