It is now edited and in my post top of page 3. Undecided on the cost yet, but it will be for my cost only, at this point, and is dependent on if I CNC them myself, or a friends dad, who has a CNC router just for this stuff. The prototypes are from used material. They function well, but aren't pretty. New ones will be for show. Will have them done for Montes @ MIS, April 21. You can apply your own graphics, or I can have it done, maybe. I would like to see your custom graphics. Can you e-mail it to me? http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2319272 _____________________________ Wayne My RocknSS04 CarDomain Site Awesome Signature Courtesy of Propitious (in reply to Bigg J) Post #: 32

RE: Cold Air Intake - 3/11/2007 5:16:12 PM    rcohen Posts: 203 Joined: 11/7/2006 Status: offline anyone ever think of getting a lil piece of y pipe and using two k &n cone filters? I checked one day and had enough room under the hood to do so.  So I made a system with two cone filters.  Was quieter than normal (more area same pulling power--duh) , but I am wondering if this helps or hurts preformance. _____________________________ 2001 Monte Carlo Ls custom cold ram air intake, 180* T-stat, Ported intake + 65mm TB + spacer & bypass, magnaflow downpipe & cat w/ u-bend delete, dual flowmaster 44's, UD pulley, slp grill, xenon headlights (in reply to z34phoenix) Post #: 36
