Re: Different intake setup

Original plan was the truck e 1500 3 inch tbi air filter and a flipped stock lid but it wouldnt fit. So i ordered the mid 70s 12 inch corvette air cleaner lid and it cleared the hood just fine....haven't driven car yet but its different. Looks good IMO

Re: Different intake setup

So you spent extra money to defeat the OEM cold-air system, which for about ten cents could have improved your power level. You've wrecked the OEM heated-air system which in cold weather could prevent carb icing and potentially improve mixture distribution.

At least you've got some shiny chrome that no one will see until you hop out and pop the hood open.

The engineers are laughing.

Re: Different intake setup

I take it youre another one that thinks the open element mod is useless.....maybe it is. I have no proof either way. The factory cold air setup is like sucking a milkshake through a straw. Quite sure its not cold air either once it passes through that 190 degree air cleaner once heat soaked.
