Default those with vortechs

so i bought a Vortech SC kit for my 05 gt. Bought it 2nd hand. The intake that came with it appears to be an OBX intake, which ot me seems like a really cheap intake. Is this the intake that normally comes with the kit? i highly doubt it is.im just checking thanks

the vortech intake aint great, but I've not found an aftermarket one that'll work with the kit

Need some pics up of that. Paxton/Vortech intake IMO sucks, would be interested to see what you have on there. Is is routed differently than factory or what?

What do you mean missing half of it? All you have to do is look, follow from the tb to the filter and see if anything is not connected??
