Nice. I like the red and the emblem. You made that? That looks alot better than the DIY ones I saw on the net.

Will take a better pics of the intake and all. Yep went down to my local Shucks and bought the parts from them, including the vacuum hose sensor adapter for $13. It looks great too, had to put the filter up close near the front bumper because it was really close to the tire.

The badge goes on when the whole car gets finished here in the next week or so.

Oh so the car will be finished next week. Thats good. Cant wait to see the finish results. What kind of filter did you go with? I still havent put my intake on. How hard or easy is it to change/clean those filters? Do you guys use those in the winter?

IMO you can run it year-round, and go 50k on a K&N in normal driving conditions before you have to clean and re-oil it.

Everything from the O2 housing back to the tips of the exhaust.

Oh okay, well thats farther than most people go then (talking about the people that buy the axle-back double-horseshoe only). Well then at least you should have a resonator in there to quiet things down a little bit. I still suspect it will be relatively loud though, although not as loud as a regular open SXT exhaust would be. Let us know how it turns out...

Well assuming you dont need a gasket to seal it back up, its REAL easy to swap them and install... should take less than 20 minuteswithout rushingonce you get under the car...
