I would never take the looks of another intake over the performance of K&N.

Lokar throttle cable and I retained the cruise control (just re-routed the cruise control cable). A custom fabricated throttle cable bracket was needed. The braided fuel line in front is just the cross-over. I used the stock fuel lines (notice them going to the back of the intake manifold) and adapted them to fit the new intake manifold.
