Got mine from Pedro yesterday and installed it last night so I haven't had the time yet to put much mileage on...only 50 miles or so as of now. And now it's up on jack stands while I flush brake fluid and wait on new pads to get here Monday. But next weekend is the last DE of the year and I'll report after that. Assuming the weather doesn't freeze us out!

Nice pics ddb...looks exactly like mine! Oil, dust and all. lol Mine was a little dirtier than yours, but it cleaned up well. I was also wondering what the odd shaped piece is for. Is it a muffler/silencer sort of thing? I don't know.

OH....be SURE...positive.. that there are no air leaks. Double check the rubber fittings on each end of the tube. I had a small leak that I couldn't see, on the bottom side of the tube. The fitting hadn't seated well. WOW.. the computer went nuts! Car started, but wouldn't idle. No power, no throttle response, backfires. Wouldn't hold a speed. And it threw several cel's. I only went a few blocks but that was enough. Came home, undid the hoses, reattached them making certain they were dead center on the tube. Magic...it runs like a top.

Just a word of warning if you happen to get an air leak. The computer gods are NOT happy.
