Dang, looks better than new! Nice job! Ram air would only work up to a point though. Probably not worth the cost on a relatively stock car IMO.

Sweeet!!!!!!

Now I'll ask you this. Did you actually see a HP increase when you installed your K & N cold air kit?

Just curious, I'm thinking about putting one on my Impala.

Hi Andy.I bought that about 10 years ago.It was made by DC Sports(I think they only do Jap. imports) and came with a K&N filter.I don't think they make it anymore.Since then,I've read a lot of reviews and a lot of write-ups say thet Injen gives about the best HP increase.I had my car dyno tested at the time with that,plus a fuel boost valve and an upgraded exhaust system.There was a significant HP increase at the wheels.How much from that alone,I don't know?

I would say this.Yes they do make a gain.But when the weather is really hot,you feel the difference more than you did before.If you can supply a goog cold air feed,this will help a lot.

If you like K&N(good stuff),have you thought about the 'Apollo' intake filter? I was going to buy one about 2 years ago,but using my DAC intake,I can't get it to fit.There's just not enough room for that plus the air feed.The other way is with the 'plumbing' going down to the front bumper,but I don't like this for every day usage.If you go through a deep puddle?

Simply,If you want the best HP increase go for a ram air intake.You could try DC Sports.Their build quality is outstanding,and they use K&N filters.Go and try out the K&N site.I think they make filters for every car on the planet!

Thanks for sharing your results.

Today,I removed my aluminium air intake to give it a good going over with HR's M&A Polish.It was badly needing done.Again 10+ years.There were some scratches inflicted by me over the years(I think when I did some work on the starter motor),which could only be made better.This engine bay is going to take a bit of time,so I'll be working on it on a day to day basis.I did the strut brace yesterday,and spent about 4-5 hours today on the DAC intake.

This stuff is really excellent.There should be a warning on the tub...'Wear polarized sunglasses'. I had to stop after the first half hour and go and get my sunglasses!. Unfortunatley,by the time I finished,the sun was away....It's always the case.Anyway,I've put the pics in order from when I removed them from the piece from the bay,some before and after shots:


















All I can say is,'Meguiar's HR's Mag & Aluminium Polish'....I love it!
