Installed my Frankencar Intake today-WOW!
Ordered my Franken intake Tuesday and got it yesterday.Installed it about an hour ago and all ive got to say is HOLY CRAP.Install took me 20 minutes and was extremly simple.Noticed an instand increse in throttle response and also seemed to pull a bit harder in the lower RPM range.Is also no one would know its there during regular,normal driving but when you hit WOT this baby scream's DONT F*** WITH ME.Man what a sound and I applaude the folks at frankencar,excellent job.

Dany.It was extremley simple to install.This was the first mod ive ever put on my car or any car and the hardest part of the whole job is waiting to get it done to take it for a rip.Go to the Frankencar website and click on the install writeup(acrobat reader) and it tells you exactly what you need for tools along with step by step pics which I looked at for about 2 min and had it down.I found I didn't even use the directions after looking at the pics.It was 4 bolts,2 screws(plastic)and one clamp and the entire stock box was out.Then the 4 bolts on the MAF,after getting this out it only took me about 8 minutes to complete the job,20 min total.

setup? Like it?

i hear the HKS is very mild and you can hear the frankencar on www.frankencar.com it will be fairly loud at WOT but at not WOT you won't notice the intake much.
