I figured I would post a pic in case others want to do the upgrade. For 200 bucks you get a cleaner set up under the hood. The truck sounds gnarly under acceleration and smoother....not sure about power.

The installation was simple, there is 1 drilling you need to do on the fender side and you need remove the studs from the MAF sensor so that you can mount it on their bracket.

This is posted in the wrong section...

 

2 things:
1) When I installed my 3vze air intake, one of the most important steps was to remove the stupid little plastic baffle on the rear of the radiator mount that 'directed' the air towards my stock airbox (just basically a barely tapered 4" hole in a piece of plastic). I cant tell if that is the little plastic baffle just in front of the air filter or something different and 22re-ish.
2) run it for a while and touch the tube in the middle. I would be worried that the thermally conducive metal tube sitting on top of the radiator (or durn close) would heat up and negatively effect all of the benefit the placement of the filter would provide in the cooling department. Maybe thermal wrap would be good. Exhaust wrap may be overkill, but a heat resistant foam jobbie would probably help a bit if necessary, however ugly it would be.

she sure is purdy tho...

 

that sounds like a great idea. Let me check and if hot I will wrap it and post a pic

thanks,

here is a pic with the exhaust heath shield. Probably an overkill but I had it handy so why not. The tube was a bit hot and indeed it is sitting right on top of the radiator.

I did basically the same thing. Used a Supra AFM and Black ABS for the pipe. I had to heat it with a heat gun and bend it to fit just right. Looks more or less stock.

 

well done... I think it looks better than the 'bling blaow' chromed tube, personally. All mean and confederate-hellcat lookin


Aaanyhoozle, if you look at the first picture, there is a piece of plastic bolted to the radiator support between the coolant overflow tank and the fender. Is that the air-focusing baffle I was talking about, or some other kind of thing? If its the air baffle, take it right out.

 

that would look GOOD under my hood!

 

DUDE, you STILL haven't painted the brake booster???!?





LMFAO!!!!!!!

 

lmao




no...

too much work to get it off there just to paint it

 

oh cmon man, it's like FOUR BOLTS! LOL!!!!!!

 

actually 6, not including the flare nuts to get the brake lines outta the MC... and then bleeding the brakes...

oh and did I mention the hellish heat in Florida?

lol

 

weeeeeaaaakkkk. Dude you can pull the booster without taking the master apart. Technically, its eight (8) nuts and a clevis pin...

 

i gotta check i think that is my finder cos i took everything out, will check in the AMs

 

yeah the air baffle is still there....I am going to take it off ASAP. on the good side the truck ran really well and much cooler temperature wise...
