yes, and i think it sounds pretty cool. if you really like it. take out the air filter and drive around the block. it sounds cool and it gives much more bottom end power.

Hey, you do good work! I love your stealth ashtray controls. Sorry if you've been asked this before, but did you notice a difference after that intake was installed? I can't wait to see more pics!

Thanks, well I did the intake and the secondary throttle mod (glued a rubber gromet) at the same time so I think that there is a noticable difference. The way I have the intake now it is a little further up than in the picture, there are a bunch of spaces behind the headlight where cold air can get it, i'm hoping to get a little more out of it when i isolate the intake from the engine with a cold air box. And the sound isn't too bad either, throaty, but only under pretty hard acceleration. The ashtray is doing well and I had to take a break from the system for a while but its back on track and I'm hoping to finish sometime in may.

with some grinding they fit, i think i saw someone on here say 6.5's would fit but i dunno cause as you can see on my site the bottom of the rear windown controlls have to clear the edge of the speaker. Midbass is really nice since they are ported, but I am getting portnoise. I have to try and get rid of the # pattern on the end of the port cause I think that is what is causing the noise.

thats me. i got 6.5 in the rear but i'm not using the stock baffle. the 5.1/4 will fit perfect the front or rear. just get a pair of plyers or some good sand paper and sand or break like a 1/4 of an inch around the inside brim
