Nedd to re-size the chrome pipes before fitting them but a little work on the original plastic ones did the job

Very nice looking work. But, GG is right-you are sucking in hot air from the back of the radiator.

But, it's a clean engine bay, and we all love to see that!

GG and I had a long discourse on this back on page 18 of this thread or thereabouts!

Aww Max, discourse? Not on my end. You threw me on the page number (18)..., it was page 3, posts 306-311. Over 1 1/2 years ago. I thought we were ok on it. Definately didn't think we were arguing or at a discourse in any way... No not at all...

Bud, not at all:

Discourse - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

"...an exchange of ideas..." seems correct? No?

Wow, seems that word just jumped out to me as being negative. Never too old to learn I always say! Cool! I still think your bay looks AWSOME!

I agree, I wish I had the time and money to get the pipe to the front and have cold air. I'm going to see how it fares up through the summer and if its poor ill change it somehow!

I went through all the pages and there was lots of comments regarding this.

Oh well ill see how it goes

Good luck. I have seen the HAI cook the MAF sensor. Just ask John Book or OSOFAST how well those work out.

Just saying....

I have already been drooling over them, you and MikeR's brake setups make me green with envy, very nicely done, looking forward to seeing her in the mountains, pictures never really seem to do them justice...

I told Steve he needs to follow through and do gold supercharger, Y-pipe, basically everything the air passes through on its way to the combustion chamber.

He has gone a bit mad with it, after all. Reminds me of a certain Dutchman who had an unfortunate schmelting accident.
