With just a gentle squeeze, "bushings" are this soft and flexible.

This familiar diagram of the shifter mechanism is marked in red to show where the "bushings" were installed.

A "bushing" pressed into an oval hole in an articulating joint of the shifter rod. Circled to the right side of the mechanism in the diagram and closest to the point where the shifter exits the cabin and goes underneath the body.

Where the 2 "bushings" were rivieted in the shifter rod/arm circled in the diagram. Here the rivet head is being ground out to release the loosely installed "bushing".

Larger airbox. The trim piece towards the front is considered a separate part and has to be ordered that way since I could not find a used airbox that included the trim.

Surprisingly big difference in size of filters and their installation chambers. One wonders why they went with all the smaller parts to begin with, including the throttle body.

OEM intake final section vs. the 3" silicone hose. BIG difference, and the hose can be extended further out front for cooler air.

Just a "glamour" shot of the Oil Catch Can. Doing it at the same time makes it easier and quicker.

The bigger air box installed. It fits so well that one wonders why they went with all the smaller applications with OEM, including the throttle body.

OEM filter on top of the larger air box chamber. There is a significant difference between the sizes of the filters. I had already installed the new filters and didn't want to take them out again, but this gives you the idea.

Probably the most dramatic difference is in the final section of the intake hose on either side of the radiator. The oblong shape restricts the air flow even before it gets to the filters. The 3" silicone hose has to be squeezed to get it through the opening, but still provides a greater air intake volume and can be extended further to the front of the radiator for cooler air.

The larger airbox fits nicely and beefs-up the overall appearance in the engine bay. One wonders why they went with the smaller OEM air intake set-up in the first place.

Probably the most glaring difference is the size of the OEM oblong shaped intake hose end piece (left) vs. the 3" silicone hose. The OEM parts restricts a lot of air before it even gets to the filters. The hose has to be squeezed to get it through the exit openings on either side of the radiator, but still allows for greater flow and can be extended further in front of the engine and radiator for cooler air.

Oil catch can is easily installed at the same time and saves a lot of time and effort.
