Default 2010 V8, Let the mods begin!

Just a little something....less:

Haven't decided how far to go...


A little dirty, it's been raining (a lot!):

A nice gift to me, from me, via Jegs (which is a few miles from my house):

Before:

After:

Install took about an hour an ten minutes, opening box to cleaning up. Under high vacuum it sounds very normal. Under low vacuum...
Good Grief! Shut the front door!


The plan is for another mod tomorrow. Stay tuned (no pun intended).

Nope, on the 91 octane tune already. The SC Flashpaq was actually the first mod, but since it requires no real work, I didn't count it.

No whistle. There was some resonance, but a little more seperation between the tube and filter cured that. Hopefully I'll have a video clip tomorrow, then you can listen.
