I was more motivated to make my 6 fast (and still am if this falls through) because there are so much fewer of us tracking 6s than the much larger amount of tracked 8s. I'm putting my stock V6 suspension back on and putting my BMR/V8 struts on the SS. Then I'll add my GMX front lip, my yet to be revealed custom bumper and my SJM afterburners when those are ready.
DEFINITELY not getting rid of my wheels. I actually sold my RS rims way back so what the dealer agreed to do is swap out the SS rims to my 6 and I'll put my 20s on the SS.
Let me stop though because I'm getting excited and I can't until I get approved though I definitely should.

Hmm.. Okay I'll talk to him about it then.

What intake?

Well here it is.



And now All finished up and installed on the car.







If the weather is better tomorrow I will attempt to get some better pictures. It was raining pretty bad at my house so I wasn't able to get the best pictures in the world on my iPhone.

The K&N intake is known for making the CEL turn on.

Not to get you excited or anything but man cutouts on the v8 are going to sound absolutely wicked

Honestly if the car is in a good condition and depending on the taxes in your area I don't think its a bad price. From the pictures it looks well maintained and has really low miles for a 10

The most probable thing is that the intake threw the code. You don't need to replace it really. I'd have someone run the code just to be sure but if it is that, just know that it's the intake and there's really nothing wrong with the car.
