Notice any changes on the butt-dyno in your G?

nogoodname · 08-22-2009, 09:51 PM

yea, only in mid range'ish...u gotta get up there a bit

i didnt try because it's been raining here, not feeling to floor it...LOL

In your pics I do not see any support bracket for the filter/shield. How does the filter and shield stay in place and not move around?

nogoodname · 08-22-2009, 10:00 PM

there are brackets, attached from heat shield to stock air box bracket from the inner fenders

the air box only has one bolt, same goes for the r2c's

Okay, so pretty solid and no rubbing the power steering fluid reservoir or the radiator cooling hoses on the passenger side?

In your pics it looks that the passenger shield is touching the power steering reservoir. I hate parts rubbing, so if there is a chance of rub then this one is out as well.

nogoodname · 08-23-2009, 12:35 PM

ok, i'll go have a closer look now

JvKintheUSA · 08-23-2009, 01:45 PM

Merci bien monsieur!

nogoodname · 08-23-2009, 01:54 PM

i checked, it's not banging up on anything... it's exactly where the stock intakes used to be

i'm not worried about it....

Wow, this is the closest mod I'd like get for aftermarket intakes without digging into the front bumper. Hopefully it produces some decent gains... still liking stock so far.

Ok - thanks for checking
