Here is pic of my newly installed intake i bought from kinetic fd3s, It looks so much better than my crappy greddy intake with k&n filters, feels better on the top end and it looks hella nice.

well here is the pic, hope you guys like it.

Looking good clean engine bay. Get rid of the giant battery thats the only eyesore i see

 

you should a petit ast

 

yes i am debating on ordering from jeff the small polished battery hold down and getting a 51r battery

i am also gonna get the ast from rotary performance because they are really close to where i live and parts get to my house in a day or 2.

Is the ast from rotary performance a good product?

Thanks guys for the nice words
Thomas

 

just ordered the battery tray from jeff, i will have the new battery done as soon as jeff gets me my tray. cant wait will post the new pics ofcourse.

 

That heat shield seems counter productive. It's blocking the main source of fresh, cool air into most aftermarket intakes (the 2" space between the radiator and the headlight).

 

Thanks!

BTW
You can get a standard lead-acid type battery, 51R size OR get an Optima in the same size for more capacity.

 

Yes, I've been running one for years with no problems.

The polished intake and piping looks very nice, however, I would also question the layout of the heat shield. It would be great to compare the intake temps with or without the heat shield...

 

get a polished ast, pipes and uim and you're engine bay will be

 

yah i need to find someone selling the polished uim, my buddy is gonna polish my crossover pipe and i think that will cover all the bling essentials.

well and the ast ofcourse.

 

yo ryneberg, i thought the same thing but after i cruise with the heat shield on it is cooler by the intake pipes than without, because the fans arent blowing all that hot air alll over them, anyways lots of the heat leaves through my vented hood.
