What big difference. The inlet pipes are huge. I took a picture of the stock SRT inlet with my hand in it and it only fit to the knuckles - with the V8 intakes I could fit my arm in to the elbow. The boxes are bigger - filter is bigger - and you already know about the Y-pipe. Took it out for a spin and I can say is that it is the best $$ I have spent yet on the car. And I didn't even need to trim for the oil filler cap. LET is going to offer the whole setup including filters for $320 shipped to your door. If you already have the Y-pipe I am sure it will be less.

I still need to fab two small brackets and trim a little so the stock engine cover will fit - but I don't have the time now so I will get to it this weekend - the car is still fully driveable as is.

I will do a post tomorrow with pictures and part numbers (it looks very stock but bigger) but I need to eat and get prepared for a presentation tomorrow.
How did you get on with getting the Air intake pies through the front grill ?

I am tempted to change those and leave the Std airboxes in place next, but want to know how much work is need to get through the bulkhead and what tools I will need.

Glad you felt a worthwhile difference. As you say, it could be the best value for money performance mod for the SRT6.

Cheers,
Si
