CH couldnt agree more. At 190 somethin hp to start 2or3 more wouldnt hurt!!!
Never said the air entering it would cool down just that it would not heat up?
Have the same set of ceramic headers on my chevelle for over 5 yrs no chipping flakeing inside or out?
Aluminum dosent rust it oxidizes, never seen a rusty delorian? im done with this thread. peace out!!!

 

There is one thing about this thread that confuses me. I always thought ceramic coatings were created as a thermal barrier. I don't think they were specifically designed to keep heat in or keep heat out but yet could do either or both depending on application.

 

check the bottum of this page it states the facts period. click on the air intake & intercooler lines link at bottum of page.

and a last one not the exact same type of intake but simply states the benifits of ceramic coatings.

The Delorean had "sandwich" stainless steel body panels....but, your point still stands.

 

The painted CGS is installed!

Too dark out for my cheapo digcam, so I'll take pictures at a later date.

That Outlaw filter did not really like being coaxed into it's resting place. Any tips to make it easier to remove when it comes time to clean it?

 

ok, so we went for a ride and after hitting a few bumps on the trashy road near our place, the intake seems to vibrate annoyingly.

I've got the support bolt tightened as much as it will tighten, and it still vibrates.

Any ideas? tips? Am I a bonehead?

 

Tip: The back side of your filter element is hitting the fender.

Loosen it up with a screwdriver and pull the bottom of the element forward.

It sometimes helps to place a small piece of weatherstripping or a rubber bumper on the bottom metal edge to prevent this noise (*which usually only happens at idle while in gear.)

Hope it helps,

 

That's exactly (and only) what it happens. Ok, so it's not me being a lame brain and not knowing what I'm doing.. not in this case at least.


Thanks, Mike. Appreciate your tip.
