You gotta get the LT headers! So much difference! Not only in the sound but also the way it feels. The car feels much more powerful especially with a CAI and tune to accompany the headers. Here is a quick video I took of mine today.

Install strut tower covers and the Airaid cold air intake kit. Now waiting for Cervini to offer the ram air ducting for the Type IV hood.

Love the color contrast, Looks awesome, Lots of stuff done quickly! The rims arn't my cup of tea but hey doesn't matter cause its your car.
With the intake, get rid of that black hose coming off of it, its useless and ugly as heck.

How fast have you gone now with the new hood? Any strange vibrations or anything that caused concern? Did you put screen or anything in the intake slots to prevent large debris from entering the engine bay? With the intakes, have you found you need to clean the engine bay more frequently due to your dusty environment?

No, I didn't put any screens in the openings. Yes, the engine compartment gets more dirty than would with the factory hood. Even washing the car will leave dirt on the core support cover. I only have about 2000 miles on the car so it doesn't see bad weather and that helps with keeping things cleaner. I am hoping Cervini will release the Ram Air ducting soon to end the dirt issues.
Overall I'm very happy with the hood, Cervini just needs to make the ducting available.

Finally got the hood ducting from Cervini's!!!
The ducting stuck in place with double sided tape.
Problem is,... if you aren't using Cervini's cold air kit the ducting may not fit. I had to cut over an inch off of the Airaid air box to get the hood to close.
I tested the fit using drops of white grease and seeing if it transferred to the ram air duct (meaning more trimming). My initial cut was good.
The outlet of the ducting doesn't line up exactly with my Airaid airbox. But, it wasn't made for it either. All in all, I have the ducting, it's installed,..

Thanks, man!!!
I'm looking forward to the next stage on the car. Got to replace the shifter, was thinking about the Hurst (because I'm the poster geezer for old school) but I'm really interested in the MGW MT-82. Any experience or opinions?
