TTDA installed! Rave reviews inside--->>>
Ok, so it was perhaps the easiest instal I've ever done! It took me and my buddy around 25 minutes and that wasn't because it was complicated or anything.
The blue CF matches the Moro paint pretty much exactly and the whole thing looks fantastic in the car. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that there's some weight reduction with the TTDA.
As for the driving impressions. I didn't really feel a lot at first, but I'm assuming that the ECU needed time to adjust to the new increaded airflow. After about 5 minutes of driving I started to really open it up and discovered that the low end felt a lot beefier. I really think that I got a significant torque increase, especailly lower down. Now, this could be a placebo thing, but I really think that there was a substantial bump in throttle response, too.
Anywho, if you're on the fence about this thing I would tell you to jump on it. It's really cheap given what it is. Moreover, the turn around was awesome. Steve managed to build a custom air intake for me and get it to me in under a week. Now THAT's impressive.
Anywho, thanks, Steve, and if you know anyone with 3.2 who's thinking about it, send them to me and I'll set them straight!
Oh, and picts to come after I have a chance to wash the car!

<hijack> Steve, since I will help Rick do his install...
what tools will I need. Here's a list I compiled from doing my own. I'm asking because I will have to meet him at his work site.
1. Vise Grips for taking off the MAF screws
2. Flat blade screwdriver
3. a metric socket set to remove the old airbox
anything else? thx. I'll have to take everything up with me.
