Got it all installed...It's probably in my head, but the intake "noise" sounded louder.

I'm thinking a PHP sticker on there is in order!!! Hopefully it would mesh nicely with my Gryphon and new catback.

That's the only thing I miss... I got a bit of intake noise but nothing like what you get with an aftermarket CAI.

I grew up on carbureted engines, I WANT to hear that intake roar when I go WOT!!! The Volant I had on my '99 F150 w/5.4 was delicious! Sounded almost like the '76 'Burban 4X4 400 w/Holley 4 bbl I drove in high school... and $.68/gallon gas to boot!

Be prepared! When that sticker goes on it instantly adds 35 ponies!

Just kidding!

Maybe Corey is reading this and she'll throw a sticker in with the Gryphon before she ships it today

Start a thread in prayer requests, and may be and you'll get more!

Just kidding!

I think you get one anyway with the gryphon and some awesome mints!

Sorry for the tangent.

Ok here's pix of mine, complete with very dirrrrrty engine compartment:

I used a 2" test/knock out cap, 1.5" test/knock out cap and a 1" plug.

Another shot:

The "ring" you can see on the far end of the PVC is about 1" of a 3" coupling. There's no need to use a whole coupling for an application like this. I didn't even glue it. I shaped the 2" of pipe that protrude into the fender and still had to beat the "bit-o-coupling" onto the pipe. Trust me, it ain't moving.

I had cut the coupling to match the Downspout Connector but then decided I didn't want to use the DC. Used the coupling anyway because it looked cleaner than my shaping job and I'm keeping an eye out for a suitable sealing material to go between the "bit-o-coupling" and the fender. Partly for a more factory look, partly for grins and partly out of OCDness...

Sawzall really effed up part of the tubing, the guard scratched it up some... ach well. Maybe some other day I'll work on cleaning that up. Fixing that will mean smoothing the whole thing though.
