I took about 4 hours (total), polished and gasket matched the intake pipes, head and Y pipe of my srt and wanted to pass on the steps. This was easy work with a die grinder and air compressor without getting under the car. Basically I wanted to reduce the restrictions and improve the flow of air in the intake system. I will break the process it into different threads to provide more detail. Y pipe, Air Boxes, and Heads.

My term Airbox, that thinggy that has SRT cast into it that passes the compressor air out to the heads......

I took the parts off in this order.
Pull the air filter boxes and then Pull the BLACK plastic compressor throttle body inlet housing: 2 clips, a bit of a twist after clipping/releasing the 2 housing plastic clips.
Pull the airboxes (6) screws and 1 hose clamp each.

The Y is accessable now, three hose clamps and a sensor (caution sensor is fragile)

Take you time and LOOK before jumping in, recommend having a shop manual to assist your understanding of the parts/ steps.

Airbox COVER This shows air box painted with textured Rustoleum black to accent the cover as Iam getting a needswing intake pipe and wanted a better LOOK. The black goes with my car and it may aid the radiation of heat.

Airbox COVER 2 Shows the airbox with the paint brushed off by a clean-up wheel. This gives a great look to the aluminum and sets the airbox off nicely. Practice o some old aluminum and move from one side to the other is a steady manner to ge the best effect.

Iam also posting more threads on cleaning up the airbox inlet and heads which I also did in this 4 hours effort.

I plan to do another bit on adding springs and the pully as well as the heat exchanger.

Are these posts of interest and or useful, please let me know,Thanks Woody
