Well I finally got the intake on tonight and I'll do a more detailed document going over the install. There are a few little things that have to be done to make this work but for the most part this is not difficult for the average wrench. For now here are a few pictures after getting it buttoned up tonight.
As I mentioned in the other thread I posted these in don't post these on VCA, if they want to check this out they can come over here, or do the work themselves.
I'll get it fired up tomorrow and see how things go.

Love it!!!! I'm getting ready too pull trigger on my own build. I already have American Racing Gen 4 headers. Still thinking about the Mopar Gen 4 upgrade with Roe Racing's 710 cam. Wondering if the would switch the intake to the Gen 5 intake.

Nice job! I'm not a fan of the GenV intake (looks) but damn it looks great in your ACR. Looking forward to the results as I'm sure you are too!

Yeh I am more concerned with the power gain, weight reduction, and heat dissapation of the composite than I am with the looks. Originally Posted by ViperTony

I agree. There is a certain beauty to the function. Honestly I prefer the black to the large aluminum chunk... Originally Posted by FLATOUT

Just for clarification...was your Gen 4 manifold that you just replaced stock or ported?

I like the new look! And agreed... if you paint the valve covers and intake both blue it will be too much.

Looks good. Any feedback on the smooth tubes as there hasn't been a lot of discussion on them with the Gen 4.

Yes...their actually smooth and silky. Round and fit with clamps. Sorry all I know. I'm sure someone with more to add will follow. Originally Posted by Rocket

Not to speak for him, but it was a stock Gen IV manifold that was replaced. Originally Posted by Steve M

What's up Rocket glad to see you over here. Lee perma banned me from the VCA almost a year ago so I couldn't keep up with your builds. Originally Posted by Rocket
