Swapped out the original marker lights, for blacked out LED ones. Look SO GOOD with the silver paint during the day..... and even better at night!!!!!

The red rear markers are so deep in color. Photos don't do them any justice...

Craigslist score of the Day: A nearly new Holley CAI set up for $150. Online reviews say it's good for 20Hp. That prolly' means 10hp. I doubt I can even feel 10hp. Filter has a few dents in it, but it looks fine otherwise. I'll toss it on tomorrow and see what happens.

Intake looks interesting. Look forward to seeing more pics and thoughts about it.
Thx

Jesus H. Christ, was this a b!tch to install. I got it loose with no instructions.... so I watched a Youtube vid.... looked EZ Peazy.... They just show it slipping together. NO WAY!!!

They show the intake trunk just snapping into the air filter after the filter slips into the air box.... HA!! It took all the kings horses and all the kings men to get these two to join together. I had my neighbor come over and cram the thing together hard after I lubed everything up with KY Jelly and then I had to work the lip on the filter over the intake trunk flange with a tiny phillips screwdriver. It reminded my of watching my son being born. He got stuck right when he was crowning, and the Nurse had to use her Pinky finger in the same way to get his noggin' past "the tight spot." ( see green arrow)

I think thats why it was so cheap, and why the filter was a lil' banged up. I bet the dude gave up on installing it. (He told me he sold the car)

So once that task was over, it just all fell into place.

Looks very OEM

Sounds very OEM

Full Throttle? Also very OEM.

I'm glad it was cheap. If I paid full retail ( Something like $450) I would have been pissed.

I have no idea how much replacement filters are. If they are a bunch, I'll run it until the filter clogs up then put the stock induction set up back on.....

Sorry that it was a pain to install.
But I do think it looks good. Thanks for the pics.

I'm going with AIRAID when i do the LLT to LFX manifold swap.
