Remember when race gas was $4 gallon... I do......... now most gas stations don't even sell unleaded race gas anymore, they stick to kerosene

I think its probably just the added NVH from the pitch stopper
Sounds like the pitch stopper to me. I noticed a new sound right after I installed my solid KB pitch stopper. Kind of a grumbly sound. Does it sound like it's coming through the upper AC vents?

Westi...I know this is a "way back" question but....I bought an SPT intake from another WSTI member, looks great...hardly used, but it didn't come with a heat sheild as yours appears to have. I noticed there are a few places that sell the heat sheild with the intake, but most don't. So what I was wondering was.....#1. Did your intake come with that heat sheild?, because wat i am seeing on the net looks nothing like your heat sheild. Here's a link..this is apparently the SPT sheild SPT Heat Shield #2. Have you noticed any power loss or cel's from the intake? #3. About how long did it take you to install.

Thanks
