Here are some teaser pics of my newly mod'ed intake manifolds (Thanks Shelton). I'll take more after I get them installed with the C3 6mm phenolics. The weather forecast is great for the weekend. I'm pumped up about getting to the track with these new manifolds, new LET tune and new DR's. I'm praying that everything goes together as planned and we get that cool, DRY, weather. Wooooooo hooooooo!

Lookin' Sweet!

Now that I have my new tow-truck home, I gotta buy a trailer before I can afford any more SRT mods...but you got me thinkin' about my next mods...

 

MrPhotoman, Shelton is 240M3SRT.

Here are the pics of the manifolds installed with the air Y connected to the throttle body. You can see the clearence for the SL55 just fits over the mod'd manifold. I put the boxes on and they fit perfect.

Now the bad news. When I was snapping the air Y onto the throttle body it didnt seem to be locked down on the bottom. So I pressed down firmer and reached under to make sure it was snapped on. Still feels loose...what the heck...$#&^@%$...that rubber gasket between the throttle body and the SC is cracked/split on the bottom. CRAP!! This is the gasket that has two metal brackets molded onto a rubber middle.

BrianBrave, what was that part number you looked up before?? I need that part.

 

looks good, i can not wait to see your new times. that sucks about the gasket!

 

Looks great, how long did it take to fit up the new pipes?

 

Only about 30 or 45 minutes to install. Mostly cause I found that dang broken gasket...crap, crap, crap!!!

MUTT said the part number is located on the bottom of the spacer.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but why is one side nicely bent and one side welded in four pieces? Looks good anyway!

 

The angle on the drivers side appears to be slightly different to the Y pipe. They fit perfectly and the SL55 intake fits around them with no interferences.

Very nice Mike! From what I'm reading about the stock gaskets, that may be my problem for the lack of power compared to others with the same mods as me.

 

The drivers side is made from separate pieces to clear the fuel rail and match up properly with the y-pipe with the proper angle. Early versions were one piece but they just didnt fit to my liking. Upon first glance of your stock manifolds you might think they look the same, but upon closer inspection you will notice the factory ones actually do the same thing.

 

damn, now I have to decide which way to go...be loyal or save money...and I like to save money.....
