Default my $28 intake

i had some free time so i decided to make an intake. its a little dirty after my test drive so dont mind that. i havent hooked up the sensor since my drills at work but here it is. it came black like that from home depot

it sounds ****ing sick at full throttle, alot better response but im getting worse mpg cuz i love hearing that v8 growl.

Good job, but I think you need a new filter b/c that one looks messed up.

I think a rubber grommet would be better for the sensor rather than silicone.

I couldn't agree more, ditch the silicone.
