I can't seem to wrap my head around the gay tab they have designed to hold the side markers

Tab's can't be "gay," grow up.

Looking forward to your review!

Did you remove the rest of the noise generator yet?

DarkCard · 01-21-2013, 01:53 PM

Not yet its been freezing out haha

I still have to get the bolt in to mount the intake to the rad support too and flip the center coupler clamp around (OCD haha)

DarkCard · 01-25-2013, 12:51 AM

Well unfortunatly I can not find my gopro anywhere.. so much for a intake vid but heres my overall assessment.

First off the guys at Vigilant Motorsports are great, easy to get in touch with, super fast responses and when I needed help Sean picked up immediately.

Box came packed to the brim with noodles, everything was professionally wrapped, organized, and not just thrown in and forgot about. (awesome)

Although there werent any directions installation was very straight forward but I must say lifting up the bumper to remove the stock snorkel and installing the front portion of the new pipe is VERY nerve racking.. (Not his fault just keep it in mind)

Only issues I had was installing the breather hose, bung is pointed slightly downward and its kinda finniky to slip on. The other is screwing the intake into the rad support, the tab seems a wee bit bent making it hard to get the screw threaded. I have yet to install.

Overall the fitment is very good so no big complaints.

Driving:
First off cruising in day to day settings you can not even tell its there, once you get on it though, its a surge of sound, that brought a smile haha. I noticed a increase in throttle response and overall pickup, nothing crazy but its noticeable.

No check engines' no bogging, Im very happy with this intake, it was exactly what I was looking for, its time for you guys to get yours!

DarkCard · 01-29-2013, 07:24 PM

Also!

Finally got around to changing my plates

new customs on the way

DarkCard · 02-01-2013, 02:54 PM

Really no love?

YourFearlessLeader · 02-01-2013, 03:04 PM

What plates are you getting?

Tylub · 02-01-2013, 03:59 PM

^seconded. also sweet intake. I was sure i was going to hold off on intakes... but this might have changed my mind. i don't think i'll care about heat soak or whatever because metal piping intakes always sounds much better in my opinion. AIRAID was terrible... that's why i feel like having you coming off of that and onto this... maybe it'll be better lol

congrats on your car really clean
