A simple yet long awaited mod

So I finally ordered it on Wednesday and the FedEx man came today











Install was pretty simple thanks to the DIY

Sorry for the rather large photos

Thanks Justin, I have always loved your car. It was my desktop background for a while. I was originally going to get a blue intake but I actually remebered your setup in the engine bay thread and loved the look so I had to go with red. I am lovin it so far. What kind of gas mileage increase did you get??

Trust me, the addiction of modding hit me a while ago. I just now got the guts to spend some cash and do it. I still have to pay off my car though

Dang! Nice intake! LOVE the deep red. I wouldn't have spent that much for pipeing and a filter but I guess AEM is better than those ebay ones i'm getting.

Yea, I know they are a little bit more than an ebay and K&N setup but I got it new for $119.99 shipped so I didnt think that was too bad.

dude found another Cl'er who attends YSU. He parks in the lot by Debartlo and drives a 3.0 '98 possibly a '99 has the 7 spoke non-split rims. Completely stock. ITs the goldish color. I was tempted to slip a piece of paper under his windshield wiper that just had. ACUAZINE.COM on it haha. We gotta save his tranny b4 its too late. he probably beats the living hell out of it. like i did to mine

Heres the last pic after I took off that weird canister thing that sits by the battery. The intake fits in much better with that gone. Also just for kicks pics of the new speakers I got.
