[Cobra25]

Nice heat shield Dave . I like it !

[Mr. Man]

Looks very professional. Did you use aluminum or stainless?

[djv5150]

We used aluminum for less heat.

[william s]

Now that is a very nice looking heat shield.

[dakslim]

I want one!:D

[Big Black Beast]

Very nice! I dunno what I was expecting,...maybe something a little more home-made looking, which that is definately not.

[MMBLUE]

I see a hobby like BC4E making dead pedals in your future. I WANT ONE! It looks better than the one I made.

[LANDY]

looks very nice Dave, perfect for an N/A or Trilogy car.

Thanks Landy we may make a few out of aluminum diamond plate

[Shora]

Looks really well designed and built.

[Ktorres1]

Looks perfect ! Any numbers on this yet ? Also is that spectre filter bigger than the s&b filter from the jlt ? Thanks

[visionmercury]

that came out great , makes me want one for my grand marq

[cougar9150]

Damn that's nice Dave. I'll be by tonight to check it out.

What was the gauge of the sheet metal you used?

The filter size is about the same as the JLT, with the stock tube on this you can feel the power gain when driving it.

We are working on 1 for the GM and the crown vic

Nice work! Get rid of the J-snorkel though! lol

Will do, what should I use to plug the hole.

I cannot remember what was used on the 'snorkel delete'?

However, I believe MERCMAN had that setup until he went with a CAI.

Hey Dan!

Mike.

[Egon Spengler]

Awesome use of those ugly left over bolts when u use any other CAI. Great work. If I care about my marauder, I would look into doing this myself.

[fastblackmerc]

Some have used jar lids and other stuff.

I cut off the closed end of the Helmholtz Resonator and used that to plug the hole, finished side out.

Then I went with a JLT.

[SC Cheesehead]

PM ImpalaSlayer to see if he still has the plug I used on my car for the snorkel delete.

Alternatively, PM james79stang. IIRC, he used an inverted breather cap to replace the snorkel, and it looked pretty cool. He can give you size and/or car model it came from.

[ctrlraven]

I used a medium size lid from a jar of Jiffy PB, painted it black and jammed it on.

I have to admit, the more I look at your car the more it's growing on me. :beer:

[BigCars4Ever]

I used a pvc cap. I sanded the writing off of it and sprayed it black.

You know the deal, pic or it didn't happen.

For the record, you know I have seen it. Just putting it out there that, it is a remarkable piece of mickey mouse engineering;)

[MMcactusflower]

What a great looking cold air setup. Might I encourage you to make some available to club members? A professional engineer and fabricator could do a lot worse.

[tjl006]

Use a hockey puck to fill the hole. Its black and looks factory

[russell072009]

id be interested in one

:beer:

[Motorhead350]

Will you make any for a fee? Well actually you would probably have to be around mine because of the Procharger, but I bet people would paypal you in a second for one.

[Joe Walsh]

Very nice looking heat sheild!....:bows:

BTW: I cut an appropriately sized plug out of thick black plastic and put it in the snorkle's former location,
then re-used the OEM clamp to hold it.

is this a 2003 thing? my 04 does not have that tube.

As far as I know, that 'noise attenuation' snorkle was on all OEM Maruder's inlet tubes.
Did you buy your 2004 new or previously owned?

Joe.

Mine came with it.

;)

Mike.

[russell072009]

used. i just looked at it and apparently he did a really good job. thought it was stock.

[Joe Walsh]

Funny thing is....in 40 years that OEM snorkle will probably be worth $500!

Remember all those BOSS 302 rev limiters that got pitched in the garbage as a first 'mod'??
