Finished my upper intake

Used the instructions from the 15$ intake changed things around alittle because my boot ripped as a result of the weight from the pop charger.

Some issues I ran into-

1-The instructions tell you to get exhaust pipe, what I didn't realize is that couplings are measured three inches from the inside and the pipe is three inches from the inside on the big side, which means the small side is even smaller, I found the tape used for grips on tennis rachets and such to work the best to fill the gap.

2-It is hard to find a MIP adapter to fit the larger hose, so I ended up using the same one as I did for the smaller hose, bought new hose, all smaller(needed to be replaced for fitment issues anyways).

3-Make sure you have the right sized drill bits for the mip adapters

4-Make sure you do what the guy says and measure the distance between the throttle body and the Mass Airflow Sensor, luckly I cut too big.

Im going to end up rebuilding mine because the holes I drilled are ghetto and crooked, because of not havign the right sized drill bit and having to dremel bit by bit, also after detailing my engine the metal has water spots, any one have any advice to prevent this in the future/fix it?

Impressions- Better sound and better starts
