Outlaw Intake

[Schmids5.3l]

Well after 2+ months, the Outlaw intake came in. It came in Friday but Ive been busy and just got a chance to take pics today. Quite a few people say they dont look good under the hood, but I think it looks pretty good.

 

 

 

 

 

Everything was smooth, only custom fabbing required was dremel-ing the hole in the airbox the filter goes in, I had to trim it up a tiny bit. There is a hole in the bottom of the box, its perfect for a ram-air scoop, I had no idea the box was designed with it. I should have got a pic of it, I will try tommo after I get done trying to stay awake at drill. I strongly advise this intake system for people looking into buying one. Great price, never oil dry filter that is washable, and a great look too. After installing the intake I also changed out the spark plugs with some NGK's, what a pain in the ass. I beleive the originals were still in, they had Delco and NGK on them They were in decent condition, but had some carbon build up. Im guessing its because of age (if they were the original plugs), if not my tune. I told Jesse I had an air intake when he re-tuned my PCM for 93, because I was anticipating having the intake. Hopefully him tuning for me having an intake (and not having one yet) was the cause for my lower ET's at the track. I'll hopefully be returning to the track this week to see if that was the problem, and to have some fun aswell.

Looks good to me. Hopefully your track times are more to your liking with the intake installed.

i am very pleased with my outlaw as well, i got the tube with the hemholtz resonator (boost bottle), engineered to provide a kick right at about 3500 rpm.

Yeah it would be nice to have the resonator. I read somewere, might have been an E-mail from the sales staff, but I guess a lot of owners were thinking it was a silencer. I'd rather have one, but oh well. Here is a pic of the hole in the bottom of the airbox.

 

 

Im not sure if a custom ram air would be beneficial enough compared to the effort. The lip around the hole is actually a good 2-3" long.

Did you get any improvement in MPG with the Outlaw intake? What did you think of your wait4me tune? Thanks.

I haven't had the intake on long enough to see any mileage results, Im sure its about the same tho. The tune is great, its the best bang for the buck in my opinion.
