not trying to be a debbie downer at all.... i have one ordered so I'm obviously hoping for the best... but, you have to be careful with butt dynos. you can peak power the same hp but lose a little bottom and it'll feel like it gained on top to the butt dyno, so you walk away saying damn, i gained some up top but in reality you lost on bottom. not saying that's the case just kinda saying I hope this one proves out on the rollers.

I just received my dual popchargers. However I am having some trouble with installing the heat shields. I can't seem to get them to fit. I can fit it around the the air inlet, but I can not get the radiator attachment to fit. I guess I am not good at installs.

Before you install the shields into the car, put that "L" bracket on the shield but leave it loose. Now, install the shield and tighten the pinch clamp bolts all the way down. Loosen the bolt for the radiator support and slide the open end of the bracket under the bolt. Once that is in place, tighten the radiator bolt then go and tighten the nut/bolt on the shield.

Go to Autozone and get the code pulled so you know what it is for. You shouldn't be getting a SES light from your stock CATs with an aftermarket intake so get the code pulled so you know why the SES light went off and don't assume. You don't want it to be something bad and think it is a CEL light.

Hey bro not sure if some service stations like chevron will have the diagnostic tools for your car. Not sure if Checkers or Napa have test equipment as well.

Thanks. I figured it out. The driver's side was easy, passenger side was tough. The room is really tight and is touching just a bit, and I can not get the intake to rest as low as the driver's side. Is this a problem? I took it for a drive and I did not seem to have any problems. It sounds good!
1) I loosened the bolt where the factory filter goes on the fender and that allowed me to move some.
2) I literally pushed and bent the brackets the way I wanted them to get the filters to sit exactly the same on both sides. I am not talking about a lot of pressure but enough to accomplish the task.
