    to polish the intake manifold I sanded it with 800,900, and 1000 grid to take of all the grime on it then i used Mothers Mag & Aluminun polish; as far as tight corners go i didnt have a problem because i did this when i was p&p my intake manifold(i removed it from the engine)

    all sri you buy is either facing the fire wall or driver fender and why buy a used injen intake when you can buy a new ebay sri for cheap,all you are doing is buying the name bro...they all(intake) perform the same sucking engine heat.

    Even if it's dirt cheap, it's a waste of money if you're want something performance oriented.

    my SRI, I connected back the plastic L shaped piece that went into the throttle body and attached the sri into it, but pointing into the ground, now it sucks air from the wheel well because of the opening to the outside there...
