Got a X-Stream filter for Gjaimes intake. Sounds simple enough,right? Maybe one day Jaime will post all his logs and results(when he finishes them.)Some interesting results.

Wrong. We had to modify it and the intake to get it to fit because of his Xenons.

We also went to get some tools. Harbor Freight has some good prices and some good tools(everything in the above picture for 109.00) but they also have a lot of real cheap junk.

Default It's a K&N X-Stream cone filter. Can be had anyplace that sells K&N(Auto-Zone.)
Larger surface area,smoother air flow,built in velocity stack/air horn.
