That's unique!! Down here they'd pull you over for those tires sticking out. You'd have to have flares because of the tires throwing up debris. Safety issue for other drivers. Where'd you get that intake set-up?

Take it "Low and Slow". Put a skid plate under that oil pan before it's too late!

ha! ya, the tires throw alot of mud! but i like it even grandmas turn there heads and stare as i drive by! i made the intake from a 2 piece. cut the plenum off a 2 piece and welded on a 5" pipe and a 3.3L elbow. its got about 3 liters of volume to it! i cant realy compare the gains to the old 1 piece cause i put this new intake on when i put the motor in the horizon, and it feels totaly difforent than the van, but in theory, it should do alot... right?

ya drives just fine, the only thing that it has effected is that since the struts are bad when your just cruisin it tends to hop everytime you go over a little bump, thats it.. aligments fine i would say itll go straight forever

Didja notice only Clayton has the factory bumper guards?
