As far as Chevy being a working mans car, I'd rather their image be upscaled a bit. It needs it. The Camaro is the perfect car to do it.

yeah, but when they know its going to be coming with an engine cover, it allows them not to have to re-route the hoses and wires out of the way.

I am wondering if the Camaro LS3 Engine cover can have the center section that covers the intake 'removed'. I don't mind the sections that covers the fuel rails, as it's ugly under there, but I like to see the intake manifold.

I am guessing that the mounts for the engine cover will use the exact same mounting studs currently found on the LS3. I believe there are two round studs on either head cover and also two clips that attach to the fuel rail on each side. If this is the case....I'm going to get creative with my Dremel tool.

They make it ugly so we will have something to do when we get it home. Plus we can buy all the overpriced GM aftermarket stuff to make it look the way it should.

If anyone has more pictures of the rear of the intake manifold would you mind posting them? I would love some that show the relation between the intake and the cowl for purposes of changing the intake out for a supercharger or a taller manifold.
