thank you sir. when ya get thrown off a horse you got to get up and right back on it.
the new twist made it home and before she cooled down we had the exhaust off and the magnaflow cat back on,vitesse T/C and found out the vararam won't go on.
got up and went to work on a better clean up.
1st shot is 2 min after i got home. the second is as of now

thank you Bo White, it was 6 of 1 half dozen of the other a new CAI cost about as much as a 2011 swap. so i sorta upgraded with some feebay stuff.my friend has a a/c capture recharge machine and i do my own work so no labor costs. i figure i'll change alot of fluids this weekend- coolant,oil change,break fluid flush and diff.
they took a $170 offer for this.we will see if it's any good......
