finderwell kit sucks air from the fender well

regular kit sucks air from the engine compartment.

they're all about the same, really not much to it, except some polished pipes and an airfliter.
BBK makes good stuff, no worries.

No the fenderwall does not need drilling or anything. How much do you want to spend cause I'm sure someone is going to say "EBAY"

It takes a bit of twisting and turning to get the stock components out of there but once that is done it's all down hill. I got the MAC.

I don't regret buying mine, but you'd be just as well off to get a K&N drop in filter and just remove your air silencer. Spend the extra $ on a larger MAF.
