Man if my camaro were a rice-rocket all those mods would give me what...easily 50-60 hp!!!

 

OH MAN RICK! That movie was the fu cking best!!!! As for the lid, yeah, u will need to buy a bottom assembly that is 14" in diameter and an element that is 14x3. If it clears? I have no clue. I had a 1" spacer on my open element and it hit and it was a 14x2.25 It won't hit now cause of the hood I got and I just bought a 3" element today. So my guess would to try it out if u don't have a spacer or nothin.

ive got a 14x3 drop base on my car., but i wouldnt see any airflow from an xtream lid because the hood is so close.

 

Those exterme lids are really for exterme cars. I guess they would be ok for our cars too but u wouldn't notice anything or get much at all for the 50 bucks u pay for it. But it looks good and every little bits helps right?

yeah...turbos and superchargers are for extreme cars too but we spend thousands of dollars on those....right? btw...i got it on today....full 14"...drop base, 14" element and 14" xstream lid....it looks BADASS!!!!!!! i took off the dusty hood liner to make some more clearance....and so it wouldnt dirty my new lid. i seriously noticed a throttle response and pickup. go get yours today. only it threw a code, how do i get rid of the code?

 

A lid threw u a code? Hmmm.. thats really strange, what did u unplug when u installed the lid? Hey, is the lid plastic or what? I thought about getting it then realized it would look kinda funny with my chrome assembly. Chrome bottome with a plastic black lid. know what I mean? Do u have a picture of it on ur engine?

nah man...i got the whole open element assembly...base too...base is chrome lid is black metal i beleive...anodized or something....you really dont notice the diff b/w chrome and the lid....cuz its so far down....the base.....no pics yet....but it looks tight...

 

Post some pics on here when u get some. No one on here has gotten that lid from K&N on the board yet. A lot of people probably interested in what it looks like on the engine. I know I am.

unless you have a cowl induction hood, i cant see how you could possible get a noticable power increase from a lid that is less than an inch away from your hood. Im sure it improves flow and all, but i would think that it might also increase turbulance, that is if it is even getting enough air through the top anyway. K&N stopped making them for a while right, then came back out with them just recently, anybody know why? Anybody thought about puttin one on, with a cowl or ram air hood, and just putting a solid ring in place of the aircleaner, that way the only air coming in would come thru the lid, straight down into the motor? ok, im tired and just blabbering now. later

 

well see....i wanted an open element and am eventually gonna get a cowl hood so i just got it all at once. i like it

Nic, I wouldn't do that idea even if it did increase performance. I would have the most ridicoulous looking engine on thirdgen. J/K I am thinking about doing the exterme lid thing. Not the idea with just the lid but the whole thing. See what happens.

no eric, that was black beauty.

 

what farting noises?

 

I deleted them. Funny though. And i dont read anywhere that they are against the rules. I just thought that they werent needed. Now, if it were a reving motor. Cool.
