not that I recall, I think it was already inserted into the intake but not tightened

I was referring to the large pieces as a whole though, they were not protected

I drove a 375whp FD this past weekend...I didn't like the lag (he had changed the sequential around somehow), but wowo! That car built speed at alarming rates - once the tach swung past 5k. With each gear change the car would sorta 'jump' ahead. We were on city roads, so i didn't take it much past 60 or so.

I'll look for the in-car video and get it to ya.

[edit]
My point this story was: If i could have that kinda thrust in the nicer, more refined interior, better-looking/more exotic exterior, I'd be happy as a pig in ****.
