You said most don't notice "No oil catch Can", that's because every engine bay is exactly like the others! What ever happened to individuality. After being away from the site for nearly 2 seasons the only differences I am seeing is the color of Krylon people are buying.
I've run mine over 170mph and to this point that has been one of the least needed upgrades...
We wish we all were located in "wide open spaces" where we could turn our Crossfires loose! I am so jealous!
I have been restoring the car to near new since my last car show. A Chrysler 300 took first because it was a immaculate 2016 car. Also, it's a red crossfire with a carbon fire wrap that looks black. I got the hood and engine surrounding done in black.
So your car has a nitrous kit installed! What performance gain did you achieve? No need to respond - I went & looked at your webpage. Crossfire really scoots!

Here's my latest update of my engine bay after a few upgrades from the stock scenario. I used silver argent paint on the engine cover (bothe Chrysler and Mercedes covers) and the air boxes (paint used on the '70's Cuda's grilles and center caps)

I have to admit that the M-B engine covers were better looking than the Chrysler version. I've always been curious as to why Chrysler designed & produced such a "Plain Jane" engine cover.

I really like the intakes that you have on here...I looked on Spectre Performance's website and they don't have a Crossfire application (that I could find at least). What was the P/N or application you used? I'm guessing they somehow bolt up to the stock airbox and you just removed the panel filters? Did the application come with filters or are those K&N's or something? Any information would be great!! Thanks!!
Does anyone else have a similar setup by a different manufacturer?
Yes, look on ebay. His look just like mine, got the pipes,and filters for like 80$.
Cant remember sellers name, but you should be able to find easily. Search crossfire parts

out of all the so called intakes, Needswings has a real intake for the crossfire, it is the only one that works ,,,+ gas mileage,,+ hP , the others nada, we only have about 3000 of the needswings intakes on here, on crossfire's that did it for me ,,

Sure would like to see where you've done dyno runs on all this for proof.. a "claim" of no advantage is easy to make.
I made my test on the track, from 10 80 to 10.76 4 runs with stock V8 intake and 4 runs with needswings , the times were,, with stock 10.92, 10.80, 1085, and one not so good 10.99, then with the needswings the times were 10.80 ,10.76, 10.79 and 10.77 . . I posted it when i did the test, a while back,,, don't forget my car has the V8,, so i am not saying this would be the same for the V6 but i think the needswings is a lot better than the stock. or any other

I won't point out how big those times jumped.. carry on.
I should not have assumed you knew the later in the evening/night the cooler air makes better times, if i had tested the needswings first, then yes the times would be much closer to each other and the first run with the needswings did run a 10.80 the same as the stock intake and then 10.79 .
to me I gained 1.5 tenth and today that equals 200 lbs weight off the car or about $1000.00 spent on a good performance part.
I do know with the needswings intake i got into the 10.7's for the first time,,
as of now I have run a 10.55 (but no time slip so i do not claim it without proof)

If you take the three best times, taking out the highest time from each test you get an average of.0833 sec.
Taking the lowest time from each test you get 10.80 - 10.76 = .04 sec.
I am not sure of the time frame or the temps when the tests were done but those figures are not mind boggling at all.
Can we assume that the V-6 would show lesser improvements?
I have the NW Single and I like to hear the SC whine.
