    Thumbs up

    I scored a red K&N Apollo universal cold air closed intake system from Ebay for $90! I have never done anything to improve airflow except remove the plastic elbow from the stock air box. We shall see if the butt dyno notices any improvement. The snorkel may or may not happen, but I too am "half" way there...
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    This "universal" kit isn't... I had to order a bracket and an adapter from K&N. The VX is scheduled to go back in the shop on Thursday. I'll keep you posted...

    I surprisingly got mine yesterday and installed it. I already had a simple bracket for my old ram air intake which made things very easy to hook up. I just used a silicone coupling to attach the filter to the MAF housing.

    I'll hook up the snorkel soon & post some pics. I also started water proofing all of the electrical engine terminals & fuse box. Should be ready for some deep water in no time .

    Because I do not have faith in the skills and knowledge displayed by the crew at the shop that was supposed to do my install, I've decided that I'm taking my VX to Espo's once I get the silicone adapter from the shop that ordered it. Once it is done, I'll post a separate thread with part numbers & cost... plus pics!
