can we stay on topic and get some answers no one cares if you want one or where you can get oneto save 5 bucks

blak what part number is yours? v6? anything else needed to make it fit like that?

I have three yellow tops mounted just behind the back seat. I removed the battery from under the hood to try to make room for a true CAI. I'm still working on that part of it.

By the way, I have a 2001 SE V6.

three????!!!!

Yup. Three Yellow tops.
They allow me to eliminate any need for a capacitor. Works very well too.



Pretty cool, huh?

Yes, but weight isn't a real big concern for me. I really don't street race and I love high quality sound. I guess it all boils down to what your priorities are. Besides, I already have 300 horses under the hood and soon to be a lot more. More than enough to pull the extra weight.

Rich, D35 4 cylinder or 6, our post are positioned the same.
I have a V6.
