Frankencar is IN!!
Yes!...
I took me about 2 hours but i finally got this baby installed. Ive been waiting since September for this...and it was WORTH THE WAIT! The new sound is definately the most noticable thing. I was driving on that stock airbox for so long, its good to hear my max finally breathe. At WOT the car has that awesome roar, its almost sounds like a V8. The sound also reminds me of that Project 300ZX that dynoed at 560rwhp at Stillen Day! It may not be THAT similiar, but you get the idea 
Seems to be no low end loss(im auto). Throttle response is actually more responsive now. Havent tested high end yet though.
Another note: a little fitment issue with the battery was a problem. After trying to slide the battery as far up as possible, the filter fits but it was pushing up against the battery. I finally decided to use a zip tie so it wouldnt touch the battery. In the end, the intake is a bit bended at the TB/Midpipe joint. Is this okay to do?...Im just afraid that under hard throttle, that certain joint might come loose or open up.
