Sweet! What are you going to do with all of that mess of wiring that goes up over the manifold?

You got it. There is two tall bosses with brass inserts in them don't cut them flush with the top of the intake you'll have a big hole. Trust me!! Cut it about a 1/4" up. You can see the one in the back I did correctly.

There's a bracket that holds the wiring to the top of the intake if you cut the tape holding it to the harness you can re-route the wiring pretty easy. Like with a radix.

Maybe tomorrow I'll have it back on I have to work out some things with mounting the nitrous.

Looks clean and smooth. Dude, you've got the coolest walls I've seen. Is that your house or shop?

That Looks Really Nice..... I Have Been Pondering What Could Be Done To Clean Up The Stock Intakes. Im Guessing You Did This So You Can Run A Nice Looking Nitrous Setup? How Much Would This Cost? I Would Like To Do My Nitrous W/o That Ugly Cover On The Intake....

That wall is in my shop. Redline 59 painted that too.

Your really not going to be able to see my nitrous, I'm not trying to hide it I just don't want it hanging all over the place.

As for the cost it took me about four beers to shave it, probably about the same for Tim to patch it and another two to paint it. All together about ten beers.

how do you think that intake would look with a rattle can paint job?
i think i might do this to mine. Not a fan of covers on engines, but the stock intake dose look nasty. i have a dremal tool would that be sufficient?
