Getting there!








This Spectre air duct is not too bad! Got it at AutoZone today.... All other parts are brandnew.

Install should be fairly easy, only "worry" I have is the AOS connection, hopefully nothing will break.

the aos took me as long as fitting the plenum. get a heat gun and get the heat to it - it responds well to heat. a bit of meticulousness and you will get a perfect fit. the clips at each end of the aos tube don't like shear load (only tension) so make sure you form properly for the clips to hold.

looking good; you can be first to report perceived benefits.

Thanks for the tip! And yes, hopefully there will be some gains, let's see
