oh and to update: im installing a Jensen touch screen vm9312 tomorrow morning, then hooking up a Pioneer 760watt amp and a 8inch infinity sub, not the stock one mind you but a better one. ill post pics tomorrow after im done.

oh and my AEM intake should be here and installed prob by wednesday. just a guesstimate

here is the new, well new to me anyway, AEM intake, im going to have to keep it SRI cause of the flooding that goes on around here. kinda sucks but thats better then having to get a new engine. plus since i got the CF hood the vents pull out all the hot air in the engine bay and rushes in the nice cold air straight to the intake. sounds nice too! thanks again to Ralliartize it for finding the piece for me.

Mod updates, sending out the header/dp out to get re-coated next month, and buying a timing box from a fellow member here on the forums. that and the piggy i have should be a nice bump in HP

 

Keep it coming bro!!!!

 

oooh yea, always more to come.

hey flip, i have the same hood on my RA, but i've been kinda reluctant to buy a SRI because of the vents above it... when it rains does the filter get wet? or does much water get in there?

 

You'll be fine I swap my cai to short ram regularly with the rain here in FL, you"ll be in the clear.

 

it hasnt rained yet since i got the intake, but i have the vent insert that came with the hood, i just put it on if it going to rain, since its not a true SRI and the filter doesnt sit behind the batt. like a normal SRI would. there is also a filter sleeve you could get, i forget the name of it but its supposed to keep water out , and use little resistance keeping the same performance as if there were no sleeve on it. if i find the link ill post it here for you.

I've got the same one on my car. I keep my other pipe in the box and haven't put it on yet. It seems that it requires some cutting to install.

Make sure you keep the filter away from the plastic battery box. The vibration will eat away at it.

 

I might have my oem plastic piece already cut out if your interested , Ill look, and the injen Cai says to remove the plastic battery protector.

 

yea i think the AEM install directions say that aswell
