i got it shiny by just taking a little wire wheel for the dremel and going over the whole thing then hand polishing the area where i cut it. This is so easy to do if you have a dremel with a bunch of cut off disks and a sanding wheel attachment for the dremel. I suggest the ones that are considering doing it to just do it. Im 17 and got it done in under 2 hours and it looks great.

It didn't make any noticeable difference on my truck, other than changing the intake note a bit when you get into the throttle. I was a fun little project, though. Something to do on a boring afternoon this past fall.

I have a 3.9 in my dakota..gonna put a stock 5.9 TB on it...then maybe take back off and port it out sometime down the road. Only difference, I'll be using and air die grinder and bit. Anything going to be different between the dremmel and diegrinder that I should note?
