New Pics! (cai And Exhaust)
This past week has been kind to the CL, I had a magnaflow 14833 muffler installed on Thursday, ($219, installed), and installed, with the help of a friend, the AEM CAI today, ($80, shipped). Anybody else who has a CAI, could you look over my install, and make sure that I didn't mess anything up? There were a couple of things I was kind of unsure about. Thanks!

looks great good choice in muffler. With the 2.25" piping I think I might have lost some back pressure sometimes I feel sluggish at higher rpms but the low rpms are sick.

The piping is hydralic bent, i took a look at it, its not crushed, but smooth. However, the piping is a little more narrow on the bends. I'm not sure about this, what do you think? I got the AEM CAI used for $80, from neo21.

dunno all I can say is that for my aluminized mandrel bent 2.25" piping, plus the magnaflow performance resonator and the 14815 muffler, cost me 371. which wasn't bad I don't think, it is higher than a lot of places but then this is clean I watched the whole thing.
