X-51 air box install
I just installed an X-51 air box. I used a Hoover vacuum belt as a spacer. I still need to cut the deck lid.

How much of the deck do you have to cut and will it still look clean with the cut?

Please post some info on what you notice after the install. I'm thinking of going that route instead of the EvoMS intake.

Thanks!

I think it acts as the adaptor between the airbox and the non-x51 TB.

where did you order the airbox from. I jsut got mine in yesterday and all it came was the airbox. What other items did you order to complete the install.

Thanks. That attitude was for the As@ in south Jersey. The GT3 deck is very easy to cut the hole in. The stock on sucks. I am cutting the hole this weekend. I will change the oil fill tube soon. (thats why there is a zip tie in the pic.)
