Here is the old engine bay:

Here are pics of the new engine bay:











The intake system parts are very high quality and look to be very solid. The install was not as easy as I thought it would have been. Took me 2.5 hours to do with having a few beers and reading the instructions to make sure I did everything right. The instructions were not very clear but once you look at everything you can figure it out. The most difficult part of the install was adjusting the intake to fit in the engine bay correctly. To me it seems like the intake could have been shorter in length and it would have fit alot easier. Also there is a small clearance issue on the right side on the intake tract. It was really rubbing up against the coolant line or a/c line. Im not sure what the lines are. There was a bracket that was digging into the side of the intake tube on the right side where those lines were so I removed the bracket since the lines seemed secure enough with out it. That helped the clearance issue a small bit but it still touches the lines slightly. Im hoping it wont become an issue over time.

In driving it, I am very surprised how quiet the car still is. I was expecting much more noise but the sound only got a very slight bit louder but sounds great. I left the engine cover off to help hear more sound and also to dissipate heat better.
The power increase is there per my butt dyno but not anything extremely noticeable.
In all I like the intake alot and especially the dry flow filter. I Hope this review helps those with questions on it.

 

looks good..

no supporting bracket though?

 

nice bro
i would like to check how that sounds in person!

make a video

 

Looks alot nicer in uninstalled pics lol! but glad you like it!

 

nvm.. i guess the heat shield provides enough support

 

there are 2 supporting brackets, 1 that hooks onto the intake manifold and another that hooks onto where the original intake was bolted down at in the lower left corner.

 

If i get time i will try to do a vid. Im hoping to make it to the next meet though.

 

Watch that a/c line! I rubbed a hole in mine and have to get it fixed.

 

Looks good.

Go here to help with the AC line:

I think by Monday I will be offering these kits! Also will offer the front half kits of the intake and just replacement filters.

 

my half kit should be coming in the mail soon. Ordered it from another vendor here real cheap.

 

thanks for the link, im gonna see about getting some foam insulation to cover that line.

 

I just want to say..

If anyone has any issues with there intake, parts, etc call R2C directly and they will solve your issue.

I recieved my intake but had issues with it and they went ahead and sent me out a new intake without any hesitation.
