Default New Mod - Take a Peek

Did a little mod with the help of a very good painter...Had my cousin contact his friend that's a really good painter at a body shop to get my plastic engine cover painted the same paint code as my truck-- Cost me all of $50....

Wanted to post the photos and share the info-

thanks guy, i love it..

The volant intake works great, i can say that its not some huge improvement over factory. It is a farily moderate improvment, and i think is meant to be coupled with a Chip. I would love to get some feedback from a 5.7L HEMI with just the intake and the superchips programmer,,,to see his overall opinion after the chip.

I have the volant intake, an afe throttle body spacer, and the superchips cortex... the three of them together really brought the Hemi to life. I wasn't really expecting too much of a difference, but honestly it drives like a totally new truck. I added the cortex last, and the difference between the before and after was night and day. Best bang for your buck mod out there. Hope this helps.
