FP, could you tell me where you bought your intakes? Was it a package or did you buy the tubing, clamps and filter separately? It looks like you've got the filters directly where the old intake tubes were. Do you think you have a fair amount of fresh air hitting the filters? I know that techically it's not a cold air intake with the filters in the engine bay, but it seems that if you have good airflow from outside hitting the filters directly that the air would still be cooler than the air inside the engine bay. I'd like to have a CAI but I just installed the SLK engine cover and I'm not willing to give up the great look. If I could have just equal performance with your setup, I'd do it just for the sound. Yours must roar at full throttle with the dual intakes. Got any videos by any chance?

 

DKNIESS, The engine cover I have I think is from the V8 so the filters that would normally go inside are bigger. Without the filters and with the wider air intakes going into the box it's less air restrictive, so it gets more air. The air intake tubes and filters I bought off e-bay, but yes they're pointed directly where there cold air is coming from. It does have a nice roar, and I do feel an increase in performance. I'm happy with the results I'm seeing/feeling. I hope to do the TVT-250 injectors and ECU mod. Then I will be set, I think .

 

Mopar, how did you paint those letters so perfectly? Looks great!

 

I wiped the manifolds off with paint thinner, sanded the raised lettering with 400grit sandpaper, cleaned again with thinner and then I hand painted them with a little model brush and model paint. I didn't know if it would hold up but I've had NO issues(flaking,discoloring, etc) in the 5 months that it's been on the car.

 

That really looks nice Mopar............

 

this is my SRT6 with MBZ AMG belt cover

then we did the CF overlay

This is with the CF overlay on the standard SRT6 belt cover that has been trimmed to show the SRT6 engine plate.

 

Nice look for all of them Karl. Which one do you have on your car now?

 

This is the engine bay now...

 

 

Very, very nice.

 

One more step towards BLING

 

FP ...you need a chrome oil dipstick and chrome caps for the brake fluid and power steering fluid and coolant overflow tank Looks good IMO

 

The one on the left is misspelled.

Looks great FP.

 

My engine bay. Black 04.

 

Here's mine with the DIY Spectre Intake w/K&N Dry Filter.

 

Here is a pic with the eaton bolted onto my limited

 

BLING-bling-bling-bling-bling-bling-bling.......under ma hood.Finally completed my engine bay. I have to thank SRT SIX for the carbon fiber, and MAXCICHON for fabricating all the bling for me (battery cover, Fuse cover, ECU cover, Air Intake covers, unknown box cover, and more. I can't commit for MAX, but if you're interested send him a PM on the polished SS fabrication. GREAT JOB guys. More pics in my gallery.

 

WOW FP,I'm going to have to wear sunglasses when you open the bonnet..... that's what you call BLING

 

My guess is that your hood will be open 90 degree at Carlisle.
Very nice job. It came together well.
