    Rough idle? P0171, P0174? Here's what you need to check first!!!

    Mine was kind of glued to the manifold lmao. What u need to do is using a small screwdriver push the elbow back and then while pushing back wiggle the elbow it will pop right off. Installling the new one will be easy. I also cleaned the area the elbow attaches to with MAF cleaner

    Any one think about PlastiDipping Yer Hood?

    why not just paint the trim with regular paint? I dont understand the point of using plastidip, paint is easier to work with and cant be rubbed off, only upside of plastidip is its reversible if you dont like how it looks

    i noticed a little bit of a power gain on take off. also adds a cool sound when you step on the gas, my friend thinks I have a supercharger on it from the whistle it lets out lol, if your gonna do an intake might as well add a spacer, poweraid is the best
