just finished on it, tried to use the least amount of clamps ass possible and suceded, only had to use 1 outside the couplers, this def help with the intake heating up, i touched it after a good long drive and it burned me, so i decided to wrap, drove for a straight hour, removed it to work my way around the MF area and to my surprise it was safe to the touch, def worth it, especially since i got the wrap 4 free

Honestly my foot got lighter. I'm not sure what the deal is. I disconnected my battery for 15 mins after installing it to help it relearn itself, but not sure if it did it. Def feels quicker on the low end.

just finished installing mine i was satisfied with the intake considering i ended up paying 150 bux for it and got wrong sized clamps and have to file out the MAF sensor location for it to fit i still have to take it for a good drive to see much better the intake really is with this 2.4 manifold

well i finished intalling mine today and it's in there good. had to use a few bigger clamps as the ones they gave me in 2 spots were too small but other then that nice tight fit and i got a nice filter on there. sounds really good now too. i'll see what the economy does tomorrow on the highway?

ya i had to use a zip tie in one area of the piping as there was no where for me to bolt it down on my car but this is working great and its hidden so i don't care. that and i put foam around where the tubing goes into the wheel well so it doesn't rub against the metal
