Ya have to let me know how that works out and if there's a difference in power

See, you imply I'll notice the difference lol
Has been almost 2 years since I drove her! Plus I'm sure the touch ups during the rebuild will bring some power back top anyway lol
But for sure, I'll let ya know what I think lol

Lol true man I appreciate it I have been eyeballing that intake for years

Another small update, ignore it being quite rough, but progress made on the console! Still gotta find a way to mount the board, plus I gotta solder a relocated button for the temp and all, but everything for the most part fits just as planned! Gotta cut the lens down too so it can mount a lil' better in that space since the bottom sits between plastics, but getting there, looking awesome so far!

So far, so good! That K&N high-flow intake is a piece of art, one of my favorite modifications to my Sport (very low maintenance and super easy and fast to clean).

@Lee's Automotive There wasn't an appreciable difference in power for me (not a fan of running past 3000 RPM's), but it woke up the throttle response a bit. Sure changed the sound, it whines now.

@DemonMudder Also curious how it will affect yours, although as you've mentioned, I don't expect a detailed comparison after such a long time of not driving the Ex.

Power is power, even a smidge is acceptable! But yeah, I probably won't notice the difference so much these days lol

I'm not usually either, but I guarantee once this ol' girl is running again, some flooring it and donuts shall be done!! Lmao

 

[DintDobbs]

You gotta, uh, break in the timing chains! Yeah, that's what we'll call it.

Yeah gotta stretch the ol girls legs some

 

[DemonMudder]

May as well fix what's broke by breaking more! lol
Nah, I'll take it easy(er) for a lil' while after lol

 

[DemonMudder]

Yall think it's worth doing the torque converter, flex plate, etc.. for the tranny while the engines out and that's easy to reach? Figure it can't be a bad idea at least?

im no expert in this but id think if it ain broke dont fix it (unless you wanna change stall speed or sum) since the big issues with the trans usually isnt the TC. but thats jus my opinion

If it ain't broke don't fix it lol

Okay, two votes no, fine then lol

Only thing I would do is the valve body gaskets and solenoids and maybe a shift kit
