So I wake up today, go take a midterm, and then go check my mail. Whats this, I have a package? This is odd, becuase my parents are comming up tommorow, so they couldn't have sent me anything. Maybe my grandparents? No, they wouldnt send me anythign either. So, I hop up over to the mail room, where a big white shiny (well, not shiny but meh) box with 'CARBONIO' in blue lettering is waiting for me. I jump for joy (inside, I didn't wanna look like a queer), and grab the box, running back to my room.
I open it up....ohhhh its sooo pretty! A nice black carbon fiber tube, a big ol' K&N intake, and all the nessacery hardware! I'm kinda miffed, becuse they told me its a simple drop in with no need to remove anything, but the directions say I have to jack it up and pull the splash gaurd so that I can get in the mounting bracket. I'm not looking forward to doing that, but hey, I got a few hours left of daylight, so I'll just grab one of our pledges to help me out. I got before pictures being emailed to me right now, and if there is enough light out when I get it in, I'll get ya some after shots. Can't wait to get in, the guy at Carbonio I talked to said anywhere from 7-10 whp. Yay!
**Sorry, but I'm a weee bit excited...** Pics of 'before' comming soon.

I know how you feel.
Anytime I get parts for the GTC in the mail I feel the same way, you know, without looking like a queer.

And I ordered a transmission cooler last night...it isn't really a performance part, but it will prolong the life of my atx, and I'm excited about that.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm excited because this upcoming weekend, I'm installing my camshaft, cam gear, and underdriver pulley kit(Finally). Whoooopppyyy! (On the inside that is). I'm just excited to test it out when it's all said and done. By Monday or Tuesday there definitely will be pics up. Can't wait to see your pics Cassie. L8...

Alright, got it in, had to jack up the car, meh. Anyways, onto the more important info...
Sounds great. Theres a little whistle under any acceleration, and just roars wide open. Decent pull power, the but dyno can feel it. Little more touchy on the throttle. Normally, the hard pull on my car starts to drop off at about 100, on our highway test it was still pulling up to 115. It looks good too, I'll try to have pics up tomorow...its so cool!

YES dare! that or give it to me and i'll put it on for you and break it in!
the intake freaking rocks you'll have to bring it by some weekend and show me in real life, we can see if you can cut that carlength down any ;)
the whistle turns heads too, everyone that knows anything about cars is going to look in admiration and everyone else will look like WTF!?
