Installed my AEM SRI and TYC altezzas (pics to follow later)
Yay! It all finally came in and I got it installed last night. The altezzas took about 10 minutes to do. Fit real nice, except there's a tiny gap on the passenger side. I've got to loosen the bolts up a bit and move it around to try and get it lined up a bit better.
The AEM SRI went on smooth too. Took me about 30 minutes from start to finish to get it on. The old airbox was a lot easier to get off than I thought it would be. All you really need is a 8mm wrench, 10mm wrench, and a screwdriver. AEM pretty much made it idiotproof.
Fits real nice in the engine compartment, but looks funny now as there's a big gap in there. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Went and took it for a test drive around the block a few times, and it's got a nice throaty sound to it. Feels like I may have actually gained a little low-end torque. Nothing to break the wheels loose, but it's making it's way up to redline quicker than it was. All-in-all, a worth investment.
Only real gripe I've got about everything is about where I ordered from. I definately have to give Rob@Tornactive a. Great stuff. My gripe comes with the guys over at cartunerz.com. They shipped everything out nice and fast and everything. They were even nice enough to put the CARB exempt stickers (which I don't need here in VA [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]) and AEM logo on the pipe for me. But, they went and put the AEM logo on the pipe backwards! It's on the top of the top pipe, facing away from you when you look in the bay. 
Definately not "show worthy" and it's not going to make any HP difference. Just a gripe. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Anyway, pics to follow very soon!

Rep Power: 482 I got it from them for $205 shipped. I actually saw it elsewhere in the Parts section for cheaper. cartunerz.com wasn't bad about shipping or anything, I'm just a little upset they decided to put the stickers on for me. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]
