Smile post pics of your FIPK, and a question

Just got my 00 TA and I'm lovin it! I would love to see some pics of an FIPK mounted in an f-body, not so much of the filter itself but good engine bay shots? I'm interested how the heat shield fits with everything else and what kind of clearance there is.

My question is, does this K&N kit make as much noise (sucking noise) as a traditional open element, like one that sits on top of a carb or TB?

thanks
Matt

hmm... looks like I asked one of *those* questions that no one wants to reply to

any info then on the noise? I'd really like to find out before buying one of these very expensive filter kits.

thanks, again.
Matt

Yes the K&N makes a nice sucking noise like a carb. It's not too loud but you can hear it if the car is running and you are standing around the hood.
