Franken hybrid to PR CAI - pics/feedback

ok, this is the THIRD time i tried posting this and lost my info both times so you can kind of tell that i'm....F*CKING P!SSED OUT MY A-HOLE!!!!

Anyway, i'll cut my briefing short. title says it all. Cai sounds much much better (cant stop flooring it). low end is better as everyone would already know, and high end is about the same if not weaker. Still testing it out from cruising speeds then going WOT.

I'm proud of this upgrade because i did it all by myself and everyone and their mother knows i suck at installs. Hole was already cut (thank god) and what takes the average org member 45 min to do took me almost 3 hours. LOL . But i did it all by myself which I'm proud of and its fit perfect, no bulging out from low pipe or filter rubbing on inner fender cover. Fits snug.

Anyway here are some pics, i also got my engine cleaned last week by Sqard who did an excellent job. Still glistening. I also have sadler's kit but not all parts installed. Looks much better on a chrome engine bay btw

--------------





painted CAI so it doesnt look as rough as when i bought it and cleaned filter.

I've never had a CAI, but I have a MEVI and live in a place where highway driving is alomst the norm, so i like Hi-end.
