I don't really get into the throttle that much, but I would have thought something was built up in there Guess thats a good thing.

Finally got the airaid box in, just figured i'd share. I may just paint the cover black, the other cover they provide thats dark is not black and looks weird so I polished it up quick to match the pipe. Still needs to be polished a bit more.

Just did a little heat management on my intake the other day. I noticed since I added the nameless header underhood temps are getting pretty hot. Sitting still I was seeing pre-blower IAT's climb to 155 with around 84-86F ambient temps. Once moving they came down a good bit.

After the reflect-a-gold my pre-blower IAT's wouldn't go past 100 when sitting still in traffic. Ambient temps were around 75F then.

Not a fan of the bling on mine, but if it works, I'll take it.



Next up is some DEI Titanium exhaust wrap for the header.
