Finally! A Real intake!

Home Depot > FIPK :-D

Why'd you go with the K&N one?? I hate thatnasty ass corner/bend it has in it (there it goes above/around the radiator) and also how it bottlenecks itself... but better than nothing I guess

If you have one in your hand you will notice how HUGE it is above those two kinks. I said the same thing myself but for a $150 bucks you can't complain for a brand new system from a trusted brand name.

:w00t: good stuff alex.... first when you said FIPK i thought about the one for the 98+ but then i remebered you had a 95 :D

let me know how that MSD Opti is. i've been looking at getting one.

yea, i just did the cap and rotor on mine when i did the waterpump. Holding out till i hear more stuff about the MSD to see if its worth the $$$

thunder racing says its "shipping" them out right now...

I need to get rid of the heat thingy on the hood, it ruins everything it comes in contact with!

yea that insulation does jack ****,,, its in my basemnt somehwere

my car never had it :shrug: lol

yea after i think '00 they realzied that after a few seconds of fire, it just contributes to it not retards it, so tok the stupdi things off. lol

mine is gone as well. take it off

I always thought it was some sort of protection for heat not to cook the paint on the hood?

Yeah, same here Al...That's why I haven't taken mine off :shrug: Oh, and congrats on the intake TA4life ;)

i always thought it was sound deadening...

whats the difference between a vented and non-vented opti?

SS and WS6 hoods never got the insulation. kasey, i believe the rest still came with it up until '02.

I don't believe so...

non vented opti's were in f-bodys from 93-94. Vented Opti's were from 95-97. After 3 years of the optispark, gm realized that moisture got in and ruined them. So adding a vent line that goes to the CAI, keeps it drier.

mine doesnt have the insulation

I havent seen them on Fiber glass hoods ever, but I think that is due to #1, its an aftermarket deal, and #2, they might disapate or not abosorb heat like a steel hood does. My Maxx has it.

tbss has it

my bird doesnt have it either

all our cars have it minus the 67 bird with the aftermaret steel hood and the maro with the aftermarket fiberglass hood:)

well the bottom line is you don't need it
