New Intake Elbow Install
8 Attachment(s)
So, like most people, I thought the black rubber OEM intake elbow was not only Fugly, but HP-inhibiting too. So I ordered the cast aluminum intake elbow that I am sure most of you have seen on Ebay. $35 plus shipping later, it arrived today.
Before: Attachment 16323 The new, unmolested elbow looks like this: ( I forgot to take a pic as I took it out of the box, so this one if from their ad) Attachment 16324 After measuring, it was found to be too long in both directions ( I have the SLP CAI) , so some trimming was in order. After a little touch with the chop saw: Attachment 16325 Some clean up with the die grinder and some time in the sandblast cabinet: Attachment 16326 Some "Argento" (Silver) powdercoat: Attachment 16327 A little heat later: Attachment 16328 (note that I got a bit too much powder in a couple of spots...still working out the pressures on the new PC'er...) Some clear and more heat later: Attachment 16329 Installed and in place: Attachment 16330 Looks much better, sounds much better. S.O.P. dyno still to be determined. (-7 and snowing like a MF outside right now) All in all, for a $40 tweak, I am pretty happy. As an added bonus, I now have a full OEM airbox for sale, with reasonably new K&N drop in filter, complete, for $100 + shipping. Cheers, Randy |
