Bolted it up last night.

It does alright for a cheap unit.

Headlights:



Poorly aimed light bar:



Dim looking headlights: (Location is just temporary for the picture. It's just laying on the bumper.)

It holds about a quart on its own. Expect to use .5 to .75 qt more than the tiny OE filter.

Prepped,masked and sprayed the headlight bezels,grille and front bumper (to finish off what I'd started with the trip and rear bumper a couple of weeks ago). All that's left are the wiper arms (3),and that trim strip/rear license plat holder,but it's split into two,so not wasting effort (and paint/time) on it until I find a replacement piece







Only a little effort and small investment in supplies,but made a HUGE difference. Here's a couple before shots...

Nice, you should do this to the grill in red. Mask the grill slits off from the front, spray from the back.

The tape has to be ON the little slats or the paint will go to the front.

I've got a tb spacer that's got to come off because the intake tube hits the hood.

The intake is awesome though, matched with the bored tb, neon injectors, and magnaflow cat back it growls like a beast

Ended up putting 6.5 in. Pressure sits between 22ish and 50ish while idle and driving respectively
