AG - are you getting the right product any time soon? If the cutting isn't too bad I plan on getting this intake. Intake temps would be a lot nicer.
I would like to get the right one, definitely. I may end up buying a larger filter if I can get one to fit.

Well, it seems it is the right one, it's just not exactly what I was expecting. I did get some pictures and it looks like it will work. The way it's set up, the filter is not completely inside the fenderwell. I believe I'll either be extending it or making some sort of shield.

Those pictures are forwarded to me from JMB. But like I said, I'm going to spend some time and get it where I want it. I'm not just going to put it on there like that. lol

It's bullshit u have to mod it to make it work like it was shown in the pictures. They should have shown the right picture. I WAS going to buy this intake as well but I think I'm gonna go with the CAI intake now.

I'm not going to save them and upload them to photobucket right now. lol

I agree, it should have had an accurate picture. But I'm just going to see what I can do with what I've got here.

That's pretty gay it doesn't fit like it is presented to fit. So you're still stuck with no instructions, no plate, and the knock off filter?

Yep. It's on but only about 1/2 the filter is in the fenderwell. I guess I'm going to make a little box for it eventually. The only other thing is that the MAF housing and the intake tube are 2 different sizes...I stuck the MAF housing into the tube and used some sealant to make sure it's in there good.

If you look at the pics, it doesn't work on the GXP either and mine's in the exact same position...I just had to do a little body work.

It's not for GXP only, it has many vehicles that it's advertiesed to work on, but it is advertised that it will work for our cars with some cutting. And the dimensions from a GXP to a MCSS or ISS shouldn't be that far off to only have half of the filter in the fenderwell, when the advertised pictures have it completely in the fenderwell.

so you're saying, it still didn't come with the blockoff plate and no k&n filter?

Are you going to get in touch with them about that?

That's bs if that's the case.

Kit does work. Driving around with it right now. It's just not pretty and I'm going to have to build a box for it, and the filter is a crappy off brand.

So guys, once again I'm the test mule for the LS4 people. Now you know what you're getting if you're wanting to buy this intake.

did you get back to the wbodystore about this, and let them know that you didn't receive any cutout and no k&n filter?

If so, what did they say?

They contacted the intake manufacturer who said this

Its just like the pics I sent you, there is no block off plate, it uses a
s+b (all my intakes do), and the maf goes on the end like in the pics.
The washer jug has to be moved back towards the firewall 3/4" and the pcm
screws to the inner fender with the supplied hardware.
