Well I installed my K&N Typhoon Intake yesterday. It was pretty easy to do but I did have to bend the tab for the battery terminal a little bit. Everything else was a perfect fit. Here are some pics of the finished product. It took about an hour (with numerous phone calls from my girl (GINA), and other friends).

Here is the intake system half way completed:

Here is the Finished product. After a few road tests and a night of driving I can feel a difference (as well as hear it).


Thanks go out to Eric at Helix (thats him in this Pic) for getting me the intake:


Next on the list are H&R springs and possibly a pulley :smile:

THANKS :smile:

I had my friends Body Shop paint the supercharger cover. He said it was not that easy to paint and it needed several sandings and coats of primer.
