This is what it looks like with nothing but the cover and clamshell removed.

Are there any advantages to running with the cover off, other than those who have a S/C on theirs

[Synner]

less heat soak, less weight

Cooler intake air

Personally, I hate the stock cover..but I haven't taken the bracket off yet. I do, however, like the roto fab separate slabs that go on each side of the rail. I just need to find a way to relocate that damn hose before I purchase them and cant fit the bia on... those black rails are bad ass though...

Also, how easy was it to install those red and black housing covers? I think I saw them also on roto's site to cover fuse box and fluid containers.

No hose relocation required. As for the decorative boxes over fluids they attach with 3m tape. Battery covers bolts down though. I have all of the pieces.

Sweet looking engine compartment! I don't recall seeing a pic of this exact combination. We will have to add it to our gallery pics at roto-fab.com.

FRA-200106-BL 2x Fragola -6AN Push-Loc straight fittings

EAR-AT925106ERL Earl -6AN Tee

That's all you need to tee off from the back and crossover in the back + clamps.

Beautiful setup, I'm looking to do the same thing. How did you connect the fuel line from the T fitting to the factory connection?

Standard pushloc hose? I'm not really sure what you mean. I just ran a hose from the factory fuel out hardline to the tee.

After re-reading your explanation to "ackeight" I think I got it. You just use a basic clamp to secure the pushloc hose to the original fuel outlet hardline. I was thinking we had to buy some special fitting but that wasn't the case.

It looks like Fragola is now offering a a fitting to be able to get from the factory hard line to the hose.



Thanks again for the help!

By any chance do you know if the v6 has this as well, to remove?
