Now you've got my attention, Kev... How do you know there was more power over
the FABM? Dyno., 1/4 miles, or seat of the pants? I may have to spend some
quality time with my tools and make something like this up! :-)

Just letting you all know I decided NOT to use the white PVC(would've painted
it silver anyway). Saw Gilbert Vega's setup, and made one like it. Used the OE
hat, a 90deg bent 3" truck exhaust pipe, a 3 to 3 1/2 rubber truck exhaust
connector, and a K&N 6" cone. Painted the pipe & hat with aluminum/ceramic
exhaust spray paint, and used a PVC bracket-clamp to fasten the pipe to the
right fender. Cone sits next to radiator on p/s, looks KILLER! Way quieter than
FABM, and more power too! Total cost including K&N was $73. Why waste $200 on a
genII? All I needed was a screwdriver for the hose clamps! On the subject of
wasting money, you guys buying aftermarket coils are doing just that! The stock
coil can handle anything the MSD6A can dish out.
