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.

I've usually done it for a minute. It's been posted that for this mod it's not really necessary though, unless you've done a bunch of other stuff at the same time.

I disconnected the battery for a few minutes after I did mine. But now I realize there was no point in doing so. There's really nothing new for the PCM to "relearn".

Txarsoncop - I really had to laugh when I saw your nice shiny CAI in your "camouflaged as a desert" engine bay! Kind of like wearing shorts with cowboy boots and a cowboy hat.

But, the intake sure is purty!
