Yeah it it, I dont think its too expensive either so it should make for a fairly cheap setup.

i have no idea, but more importantly, what did you use to paint your fuel rails? I dont think ive ever seen black fuel rails before and they look really good

Fuel rails I took apart as possible, and powdercoated them up, then put new O rings on and thats it.... I almost did it the reverse black intake with red rails, I often see people with the black intake and polished rails which looks good too but I have a red car and no underhood bling so this is it, I'm gonna hand paint the lines on top of the intake black also....

Where can you get the rubber peices that everyone is using between the TB and the mass airflow sensor? Home Depo? The photo of the black car with the J bend pipe looks like it was professional. I would think that routing the intake to down there in front of the radiator and stuff would be a big improvement over where the other aftermarket filter kits pick up down behind the turn signal, especially at highway or track speeds.

Its just so it doesnt tear up the rubber, and should give you more space to work with when you 1st install everything. Here's some pics of whats on my car, along with a similar setup for a vette that might fit with some modifications.


LOL! You are using a Fernco item for this...that's awesome. I'm a distributor for Fernco and I've never seen anyone use it other then for plumbing If you guys want Fernco cheap hit me up!

I believe in half sizes it's just 1 1/2. They make plenty of reduced sizes (1 1/2 x 1 1/4 etc etc ) I can browse my catalog for ya and find out.

No half sizes bro. Just scanned my book and called the factory to double check.

Thanks 4 that, I just got smoothie valve covers and I have my water pump apart to do a EWP conversion I'm up in the air if they should be black/red also or if I should do something else like a silver color... I did the timing cover in a alum colored silver a while ago which looks good but does get dingy lookin.... I'll put up some pics in a bit....
