post some pictures lets see what it looks like

EDIT: i think it might bea easiest if you save them in your gallery first and then use the URl it gives you from there and hit the insert image button when you type in a reply looks like a yellow square with mountain.

This is one of the best looking intakes, I think, but never seen one on a LS4. I don't see how the MAF would work on our cars and still fit between the fender and the TB. If they respond and you get it to work, please post up pics.

Take pic, upload to a hosting site, copy URL

Talk to Mike and tell him the issues you are having with the intake. He's usually good about taking care of his customers.

Should have went with the Intense fenderwell intake. I bought mine form another member for 60 bucks and have had it on my car for over 3 years now. Where it sits, it is almost a true ram-air intake. It fit perfect too. Sell that one and go check out this one.

You could also go here and look at a few different couplers. Those should make the routing better so you can put your overflow coolant tank back on. Here's the link....

Bigger vent on fender maybe escalade vent or Ford f250vent and some vent on hood a fiberglass cowl hood would be nice if some company fab some I'm sure people would buy fog lights are gonna have to be made to vent I'm going to check the intake temps with my digital temp gun to see it something will work
