Re: does the fiero intake sit right ?

They will bolt onto the MIM...but I don't know if the bend in the neck would hit/interfere with the serpentine setup. Plus you would also have a slight issue with the TB cables, as it would be out of the stock location.

I do agree that it being smoother and having that raised section in the middle does add a nice touch...but, for me, that wouldn't justify the work involved. Plus I don't like the neck going off to the side.

I say go for it. as long as your throttle cable moves the same amount it should work

Re: does the fiero intake sit right ?

if this works for you, I think I'm going to do it too. is it just the upper intake your swapping?
