Hopefully I will have a new car by April, and if it is an 8 maybe it will be turbo'd or supercharged by the time we go to texas.

I have a list in my head, pretty much all sport type cars.

I've never heard of that intake before myself, I had a AEM cai, it wasn't loud to me, granted my exhaust might of been covering it up. All I ever heard out of it was a low growl every now and then. That BOMZ intake looks a lot like a AEM one... If you trying to find out about the sound you will just have to see if anyone has posted a clip of it somewhere.

Edit: I would say come out on the 19th and you can hear jim's but... his catless exhaust is so freaking loud you probably can't hear the intake at all.

That's funny it's put together wrong in the picture. The bent piece needs to be turned around in order to mount it in the 8. It does look like ours though. I would spend the extra $100 and get an aem.

From what my dad told me the exhaust was beyond savable, I guess it got a lil messed up when she pushed me backwards.

It fits ok. It removes the corner lights. It doesn't want to fit flush there. I'm going to try and fix it when I repaint.

Does anyone need a Nordic Green hood? Mine has been sitting in my shed for the past 2 years. Or if anyone has any ideas as to what a stock hood would sell for, let me know.

I finally installed my front springs today and reinstalled my BHR ignition. I don't know what that tech was thinking. My coils aren't bad. I think he didn't have the plug wires on good. The springs lowered my front in another 1/2" at least and it still has to settle. I thought I was low before. I hope my lip spoiler gets here before the 19th.

Yeah! Now you can drag your car all over the place like mine did, I bottomed out so much in that one month I had those S techs on. I actually ripped out some of the screws on the front liner thing under the bumper, that was probably my driveway thou.

I haven't dragged on anything yet. I definitely can't clear a QT curb anymore. I could just do it by like an 1/8" before. Now I want side skirts and a MS rear bumber
