no intake is not dirty!! but i did have to leave the hood up in the garage cause newly installed hood strut ball end was hitting on my intercooler reservoir bracket and wouldn't let the hood close all the way. so if you have a whipple and want to install the hood struts dont put the strut bracket at 25 1/2". make it like 24 1/2" and you will be o.k.

Feels good to be Blown doesn't? Definently do the oil seperator and belt tensioner.

looks good.
you should look into the thumprrr tensioner, more pricey than the steeda one, but i think its a better piece.
even whipple buys their heavey duty tensioners from thumprrr.
congrats on the new whipple!!!

Are you wondering how you ever got along without a supercharger?

Congrats! Love the polished Whipple!

I have the UPR tensioner. It's a very solid piece and I'm very happy with it. The price is nice too.
