Haha yes, because the safety of the mailbox was on my mind. I'd like to drive a stock V6 and compare it though.

I think the benefit of a magnetic oil plug dwindles down after each oil change. when the engine is new, it will produce more metal shavings while breaking in the motor. if there continues to be shavings in your oil, I would think something is wrong.

Agreed, just did an oil change after seafoam and I didn't see anything on mine.

Is anyone here interested in a CAI or Roto-fab trade for a Vararam? I might be going a different direction with my FI plans and one of those intakes is a little easier to work with for me. If not, it's cool I'll just keep and use the Vararam then.

Good luck on the sale LS!

Anyone know if adding an ADM/apex/JRE scoop to my car will be a noticeable change? My mods are in my sig.

I dont have one personally but from what i have heard they do make a noticeable difference. Only reason i don't have one is because they weren't really around when i got my CAI inc intake. In the future i might do one.

There is supposed to be a bit of an increase in HP with the relocation kit & scoop but I don't recall how much. Like I said earlier, I did several mods at the same time so I could not separate out the butt dyno difference of that mod alone.

I have it done, they claim like an additional 5rwhp but idk. I did noticed the car responded quicker and made it smoother.

directing more cold air is always good (obviously) but i have the ADM scoop and it feels like KJ said above^...And it makes that bird in my engine bay whistle louder
