Yes I do! Just need to get home so I can start uploading pictures.

Nice job skeeter on the side markers (blinkers) I will have to add this to my list. An inexpensive mod, something I need after spending a wad today with Z1.

Good black Friday prices today from Z1. I picked up an oil cooler.


EDIT...just read you picked up the silicone MAF intake hoses and drop in filters.

I just did drop-ins and post MAF tubes for the intake. Thanks for the info Shado, question for you. Should i drill a small pilot hole for the screws or just screw them in and let the screw do all the work? I'm thinkg of doing a small pilot hole that is just a bit smaller than the inside diameter of the thread. As far as additional screws, i was thinking of getting some screws similar to what stillen includes and then get 4 bolts with washers and nuts. This way i can make certain that it would take something pretty big to rip off the lip/splitter.

You may wanna search the forum, but I think you can get away with just buying the same screws, only better quality.

I did some searching and it wasn't easy, but i think I'm going to augment it with some extra screws of similar style and back those up with a few bolts nuts and washer to really lock it in.

Ok here are the pics as promised!
The post MAF tubes that I installed today, I removed the metal adapter things after the pic was taken when i realized they weren't needed.

How it looked after the install. I love how it maintains an OEM look (minus the Z1 logo giving it away)

And my plasti dipped side markers

AAM short tails came in the today

bernardio 11-29-2011 09:02 PM

Nice! So how do you like the new intake setup?

LakeShow 11-29-2011 09:15 PM

AAM shorties are going to make you cut the muffler right?

I honestly didn't notice a night and day difference. It doesn't sound any louder imo, but with my go pro mounted on the front bumper, i could hear the intake at lower speeds on video.

I'll just remove it completely, no cutting needed :tup: If it is too loud i can always put the original muffler back on. But I doubt i will be bothered by it. I'm also going to get the tripod adapter for the gopro and try doing a time lapse video of the removal and installation

haitech 11-29-2011 11:58 PM

I believe the shorties won't be too loud. If not you can sell them to me :tup:

Skeeterbop 11-30-2011 10:15 PM

Pic of the AAM short tails before I get them installed, hoping to get it done tomorrow.
