Franken Intake is a cool setup...Good Job Steve!
Well, I drove Ru4real/Jeff's car and I must say the intake does sound good. Jeff's ride is a 5th Gen auto and I drive a 4th Gen Auto so I can't tell you guys about the power difference of the 5th gen without the intake but when we jumped on the highway to test it out, we got up to 80 from about 40 really quick. The sound was great but due to the lower compression in comparison to the 5th Gen 2k2, it wasn't loud as the 2k2. I should add that there is NO drop in low end torque whatsoever. The car feels normal under normal driving conditions which is what I'm looking for.
I still would like to see what this unit is going to do for the 4th Gen auto.
Jeff and I give the Franken Intake a...........

If you need a fourth Gen to prototype on PM me, I am in Worcester. I still have the stock intake and exhaust, but will be buying a Y-pipe very soon.

So you two like experimenting, eh?
Good luck with you new intake and don't **** up Lime's car. You know she's gonna kill you if you do
