I think they look a little goofy so I'll leave it to you guys. One good point is theres plenty of filter capacity compared to the old dinky filter.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Andy Theirs alway some smart A'S*, wouldn't feel right if they didn't chime in. If you spent some time under the hood area you would know its a cool place, not hot as you might guess. That area of the trunk is much cooler than above the engine area. At any rate its cooler in relative terms and filter capacity was my main goal. Think harder! |

Think harder! nice! how about you un-bunch yer panties a bit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) you are obviously much luckier than i, because even with the coated headers, my trunk get's PLENTY hot. much hotter than right under the GT engine lid. hot enough even to leave heat discoloration on the spare tire rubber i carry in that rear trunk. so much for smart ass, right back at 'ya! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Andy PS: and i DID agree with the smart ass krusty cap'n about the cleanliness of the install. just for the record. are you, by any chance, an engineer by day?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy, My trunk is gone, the area really stays much cooler then above the engine. I don't have anyway to really know just how the air flows in that area but its nothing like the engine lid area. I may be pulling air in from around the transmission, which is open with no sheet metal . I guess at first look you might think its a bit hot but its not. My engine makes as much heat as most V8s but theres so much open space with the trunk removed maybe that is the biggest factor. I do have huge Ferrari 575 mufflers and they sit down low and take up a lot of frontal area, that may be deflecting relatively cool air up there. No offense taken... Krusty is just Krusty |
