I'd really like to keep my engine cover over my kintex plenum... It looks possible... is it?

It'd be really ugly without it =\

 

i think you have to custom cut it............why did you go with kintex or crawford?

 

Why not?

 

did u ever install ur plenum and all the other stuff?

 

Waiting on my crawford cats to come in- then gunna get it all done at once...

I'd really hate to get rid of that beautiful engine cover tho!

 

i've seen a sedan w/ crawford plenum and the OEM engine cover. dont ask me how he did it, but its possible. it might take some ghetto riggin though

 

thats the only reason why i wont get one.
it wont even fit with the 1/2 spacer !

 

The car runs better without the engine cover. The plenum temps are lower when the cover is off. It has been tested. You will have to look at the treads about Motordyne's Iso thermal kit.

My engine cover is in my closet

 

tru dat, mine sits in the garage. although i have a CF 350z cover that i need to cut so that it fit the crawford plenum

 

If possible I'm keeping it, because that would be fugly to take off, I'd be willing to sacrofise a little bit of power for that.

Will the ztube bother it?

 

Actually it isn't ugly at all. I got a Crawford Plenum - it's gloss black and it looks great in there. The z-tube wont affect the engine cover.

 

I though so too at first, but now I like the look of the cover off. I even forgot I had the cover off b/c I don't open the hood very often.

 

I ment, I want the ztube and Kintex plenum under the stock engine cover.

 

:d :d :d

 

Mines not gloss black, its like... plastic black lol-- its fugly, I wanna hide it.
