Shame you dont get whine with the SL55 intake because I think it looks the best out of the lot.

Krazy did you gut your stock intake boxes or did you buy SL55 intakes and gut them?
the boxes are oem 32 boxes and the gutting occurs in the front of the boxes. the plastic tubes have silencers in them which i removed. using 3" rubber couplers i attached 3" stainless steel tubes to the boxes and needswings devil horns to the s/s tubes. wrapped everything in black exhaust wrap to keep it cool and added the sl55 y splitter to the mod with the 55 tubes.
the main reason i didnt go 55 boxes was the loss of the center cover. the 55 are bigger and flow better but i need looks as well as performance. netting 341 rwhp im satisfied with the setup and will be using maxbore to enlarge the t/b to 77 mm in the near future. with some exhaust mods coming im hoping for 350 rwhp with another retune from tony.
