I'm guessing your an a L99? I have an LS3 and the hoses are routed different. Just curious.

Yes I have a L99 but I jus chose to route it that way, when I first installed it before this whole crap started I had it routed similar to the hard plastic stock line, and recently when I changed the line I routed it like I have in the video

Thanks to all that replied about the intake. Another question:

Ready...Porting the throttle body - vs - throttle body spacer....and....GO! (Primarily what's the difference)

One improves throttle response the other lightens the wallet.

But from what I read...both have the same affect....better throttle response, the possibility of better mpg, etc. So, lookin' for someone to school me...give me the "why" for or against each.

Spacer does absolutely nothing.

Tb's don't either BUT they do add way better throttle response.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer but since he was asking about spacers what about the varram wedge?

Same thing Mike, no difference. If you really want one, there's always a few in the classifieds.


Has anyone been able to see Mikes video on the way it's routed, so he can cure his problem?
