    Thanks man and I feel the same that in a lot of cases less is more. When things look to busy it looks like the builder did not think it through. Thats why that swivel ball was bothering the hell out of me.lol

    Hey Ryan, Check out what my good friend Jeff has come up with. Won best product at SEMA national convention last year. Might be nice for what you are doing. Page 4

    Very nice Bam! Is your grill a new aftermarket or a re chromed original? It looks so nice. Also, were you able to use a 4" coupler on the maf? I have been wondering about that and haven't gotten that far on my Camaro yet.
