It was a group buy on sf.org. I also picked up the custom TMIC/scoop splitter as well (notice that they look similar?) in one of his group buys. He makes good stuff for our rides

I love Subtle's stuff, but I just can't fork-over what they want for it.
Chimney Duct w/ Heatshield - BRUSHED: $199.99
Hood Scoop Splitter: $324.99
Radiator Shroud): $79.99
(I'm sure SirWilliam got it significantly less cost)

Ya, does seem pricey for... some Al.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Hey no problem. Glad to get the info out.complacent wrote:ahh... now i see. thanks for clearing that up.
Here is a dirty shot of my engine bay in stock form from the dealership:
Here is a more current shot of my engine bay now:
I am trying to be as faithful to the FSTi stock layout as possible...of course I am missing the nice red intake manifold. If I ever have to rebuild my engine I will either go with red or blue for coating the manifold.

Re: A brand new chimney...
oh ok cool. I found it over on Mach V's site actually for like $40 bucks. I just love underhood plaques that show off the engine. -> muscle car guys get roadrunners and '440 six pack' marking.
