Why does it have to snow ALL day the day your intake gets to your doorstep??

Dont be afraid of a little snow... Chris did his breaks in the snow today. the hood will protect you, just throw a towel sheet over the side the snow is blowing in and youll be fine.

Intakes are a snap. You can do it in the snow. The only thing that might be a pain is pulling the snorkus out of the fender. Otherwise its just a few screws and bolts in the engine bay.

Eh, the temp came up this morning a bit and it was sunny. Only took about a half hour. Just got done with it. Thanks anyway! :D

Honestly, its just ok.
I haven't gotten on it enough to test the butt dyno. At WOT, it roars and really sounds good. IE "roooaaarrr, whosh, rooooooaaaaar, whosh, etc".
Just putting around though its a little raspy... doesn't sound too healthy.
I dunno, at this point its still too early to tell.

update: Put in my second tank of fuel and after a road trip with a heavy foot onto on-ramps and demolishing a Grand Prix GTP out of one toll booth and 540 BMW out of another, I'm at a record high gas milage of 23 mpg!

How about a long term update on this mod?

Oh sorry...
Update: Still running a consistent 23 mpg; Gas milage is up. Still just as noisy. Its not a bad noise, but its getting louder now that my windows are down with this warmer weather :D. The car hasn't coughed or hiccuped and It now has about another 3000 miles with this intake. So far, so good. Would I spend the money on it again? Meh, I'm not sure my butt dyno is reading any differently. If you're looking for the BOV "swoosh" start with this. Its the same money and actually inceases hp.
