Saw and heard the FrankenCAR Intake tonight!

I met Steve and Matt tonight, so they could look at my 2k1 for fitment issues regarding the Franken intake. Well, they put it on my car and as soon as I heard it I knew I didn't want to wait to get one. We went for a test drive, and I got to play with it. Not only did it make the engine sound much more powerful, but I felt the performance improvement too. I saw a few heads turn as we drove around a strip mall. It made me want to floor it at every chance. This is the loudest intake I've heard. The audio files of the intake don't do it justice. If you're shopping for an intake, order this one and you won't be disappointed.
Unfortunately, the intake was switched back to stock after I tried it... but we went on another test run in Steve's 2k2 6-speed, and that experience was jaw-dropping. The intake was even louder with his engine.

ATTN ALL 2k2 OWNERS: Franken intakes ready to ship

I'm not responding to that. It'll have to be settled in person. It's not important who wins or loses, it's if we can beat Medic. Why are you moving to New Bedford?

Andy: thanks for the support

When will they be available for the 2k1? And what were you refering to add a "two breather"? Will the 2K1 be dyno'd as well?

There is still I-95 caravan I guess we won't have any venison at Deezo's new place. Isn't the Pike closer from NB?

Maybe Steve will nickname the new intake "SCREAMER"

There might be some changes with my New Bedford move and the Pike would be further away.
