Beyond happy with my new Vortech V2 kit, but was a bit disappointed with the tiny crunched filter. Fixed that last night. Coupler, 3.5” piping, and lightly used AEM dry filter picked up on eBay for $60. Had to cut one of the bends off the piping but came out pretty good.

 

Looks Good!

 

Props to a nice looking job! I think I'll stay where I am bc I've known several people that hydrolocked NA, plus ease of filter service.
Nice work though!

 

I don't Drive My Car in the went I can Help it.

Never had a Problem.

 

Sup, Tim- I'm here to learn so thank you!

Not to put too fine a point on it but -
1) I suspect my friends were not wearing both fender- liners and bottom- covers.
2) I measured the difference from stock airbox to just under the latch with a laser thermometer. The difference was 6 degrees F, plus heat-soak. For me, I was glad to be rid of the Z1 long-tube when I went FI. I had my charge pipes powder-coated before install (heat-soak) bit I'll definitely re-evaluate my set-up. Thanks, my friend!

 

That setup looks amazing Tim. Makes my little intercooler look, well little.

I may add an AEM Dry Sock for good measure in the event someone somehow spray water directly at the filter, but I wont be driving in too much rain.

 

Plus- how do you get your filter for service?
FI noobs want to know...
Thanks!

 

How much quieter did this make your supercharger?

 

I wonder if it makes a difference. I don’t have a filter and the noise is completely filtered out by the obnoxiously loud tial bov constantly dumping air like a jet.

 

Very nice! I need to post a pic of mine. I routed mine towards the front middle because i wanted to retain stock bash bar.

 

LOL, it's a Treadstone Tr-1245 Very good for the money. rated @ 1000Hp & 1469CFM
