Yeah, I did the spectre intake recently. I love it! You can hear the throttle open and close inside the cab.

Not to hijack, but what stops water that's thrown up on the hood from going into those vents and getting sucked up? Dang, what if its raining?

Actually, not sure if there's a drain or something but that's where your heat/ac pulls air from. I drove through a heavy rain last night and there were no problems.

I used this to do mine...

Magic eraser and a drill. Works great for the glue and to take pinstripes and stuff off.

I didn't have a magic eraser so I just used brake cleaner to break down the epoxy stuff and a plastic paint scraper to get it off... Took awhile lol
