Man, you guys are tough! Wasn't trying to offend, just some light hearted joking at the expense of Jim's typing. Sometimes this forum is way too serious. I've joked and have seen people joke only to be jumped on like a pit-bull's slab of meat.

Cheers!

 

wtf?!

oh well, welcome to the forums crackhead!

What hes done to the grille aint nothin new. Post some pics last of the mohicans.

 

I personally like being a slab of meat

 

Me thinks you've misinterpreted something somewhere in this thread. We're all just poking fun at Jim's typing skills, or gross lack thereof. Hell, he makes fun of himself and has been for years.

Tone and inflection can be really hard to properly ascertain on a forum, which is why some people do the whole pit-bull on a slab of meat reaction when there's no need for it.

 

I hope you're just kidding.

As a matter of fact, 240M3SRT now holds the honor of being the first A**hole to go on my "Ignore" list!

 

Jim, you didn't have to do that man, but we appreciate the R&D.

By the way, Since you're a true American, American. Does that explain your obsession with American Motors?

 

Damn I knew i missed something i am american motors american,, just to let you know my halfhymers kicked in again that is why i forgot i am,was, and will always be american motors,, go ahead guys," sticks and stones can brake my bones but words can't hurt me" , at least long as we have lunch when the bashing is over. jim

 

By the way Fireamx that crossfire of yours it the best looking crossfire i ever seen love that hood,, wanta trade? jim

 

Thanks for the "props" Jim. Maybe it takes and old AMC guy to really appreciate it.

 

PRICELESS !!!!! My thoughts exactally.

 

Ok, sounds fine except on a rainy day. Be prepared to ingest water.

 

Yesterday 01:01 PMamx1397

useing the stock intake system even if water got into the opening there is a hole in the bottom under the filterdor drain anything that gets in there ,,, with my car running i just took a water hose and tried to get water into the intake ,by spraing water directly at the intake holes in the grille,, hood colsed reveing the motor and spraying,, ,,nothingwas found under the filters, but got some draining(drops) under the slincers where the corgated hose connects to the filter housing on both sides you would have to be in a hurricane to get water into the intake, and i don't think it would happen then either. jim

This is post #17 from amx1397.

 

LOL, at least im first at something in life. YAY!

Actually its just my way, im used to kidding/making fun at the same time...gotta understand im a young whipper snapper, dont go gettin all upset fall and break your hip.

And this isnt 1/2 as good as what went down between me and mrphotoman...now that was just plain grusome

 

don't ignore him one day he will have something interesting to say and we will listen. smarts with age,,,, experance with age. right ,right jim

 

So is there a noticeable difference by doing this "mod"?

 

If we're talking about tweaking the stock grill, could this "improvement in airflow" also be had by just replacing the stocker with one of the mesh grills that SRT SIX is landing for us?

Like this one: borrowed grill picture

 

Yup, My thoughts completely, here's mine with the NW "Big Straw"(CAI), it really Sucks!
(& that Increased S/C Whine ain't Bad either, or maybe it is! )

 

Mesh grills like the one pictured are made of: mesh. It has a given "transparency". That particular material looks like #3 (3 openings per inch) with .047" wire diameter.

This makes it 60%-69% open. 31%-40% blocked. I'm unsure how this compares with a stock xFire grill.

I am told by an aerospace engineer that the "blocking power" or turbulence of a mesh INCREASES with velocity. Screening the inlets of a jet engine would seem to be a wonderful way to decrease FOD (foreign object damage), however the loss in power makes it unworkable. He didn't have the time, or interest to work out the numbers for 100 to 160 miles per hour, but said it would be "significant".

Nothin' in life is free.

Or:
TANSTAAFL There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.

 

So the Real Answer Here is: Take the Grill Off, Don't put another One on, & hope you Don't have Seagulls Sucked Up your Intake!

 

Here in az you would have to worry about sucking up a roadrunner
