I have an '04 5-speed GT, the only mod being a set of Magnaflows and tips,and I'd like to know the simplest mods I can do. I'm about as mechanically adept as your average Smurf, so go easy on me! Thoughts?

 

Simple mods that you can do yourself?

- Remove the rubber silencer off the air filter assembly, or
- A cold-air intake
- Throttle body / plenum
- Shifter

 

i took off the whole plastic piece on my intake.

I cut the ring off the assembly and clamped the bastard back on leavin me with a home made ram air kit. minus the part where it gets nailed with heat soak. but works great if you pull your passenger headlight out at the track

 

Heres how i had the filter. much better flow than that box

plz ignore the dirty engine bay it was due to a dirt road ilived on. I hadnt had a chance to clean it. that was like a year ago.



now it looks like this

 

wow, your engine looked like ****

 

A mid pipe is not to hard to put on.Its pretty much a direct bolt on

 

And it will sound twices as good

 

so with a k&n drop in were suppose to take the plastic piece off?[]

 

no he did that to try and get more air into the engine. the k&n will fit in the stock air box.

 

yea thats what happens when you live on a dirt road in florida, and the place you work has a frickin dirt parkin lot, in which people like flyin through. It was pointless washin my car EVER! only on weekends. But its all better now
