Yes, this is another worthless install thread. But you know what, I don't care.

Well, I finally decided to install the intake after having the intake sit for close to a month in the trunk. I wanted to wait till I finally put some good miles on her, but I decided f#&k it.

I had the first Gunmetal one that Joe Z had made on a sample run. Although this is not the original one, it went to another home on the other side of the U.S. All I can say is, I love this intake! It makes the engine more pronounced under regular acceleration. The car definately feels more peppy, but it might be mental, who knows. Not ready to scream it to redline yet.

So far, I love it, the product looks great. Thanks again Joe!

Anyway, onward to the obligatory photos!

Sweet install, I demand to hear that in person Pocky

Wow, I love how clean your engine bay still looks. I have over 8000 miles on mine, it's not as shiny.....

 

Looks nice!

How do you remove the engine cover??

 

That's 'cause Pocky drives like a grandma... you should have seen him on the road Sunday... j/k! He's still in the "break-in" period on his ride.

Thanks. LOL all you guys gonna hear is 3.5KRPMs & under.

Javier!!!! I was driving up to 80MPH.....sometimes........ hahahaha! Pssssh, your just a crazy **** behind 306HP. Payam, I say remove your covers and give it a good cleaning with a wet towel.

teejnut, are you talking about the actual engine cover? Just...pull up? hehe

onihc, yeah man, what happened to you that day anyway? You showed up like......5 minutes after the whole caravan!!

 

Once my broken ankle heals up, I'm going to go out there and give the car a full detail. This is driving me crazy!!!

 

my speeding days are over. i usually cruise 70mph and try not to go over 75. at aerotect, i was scared to bust the U in the middle of street.

come on pocky, gun that sucker. it won't hurt it. after all, you did not buy a piece of crap, did ya?

 

yeah the actual engine cover, oh you just pull it up? i want to clean the engine when i clean my car but never figured out how to remove the dang thing. hehe.

 

what are the differences between the stock tube and joe z tube? is it just the inside of the tube? one has ridges and the other is smooth?

dang... the engine is kinda ugly w/o that cover... hoses running every which way...
