    I have one with a Demon 650 & a K&N filter. It fits in my hood scoop.

    very nice! may I ask what brand hi-temp silicone sleeving.. if that's actually what it is?.. is on your wires?

    EDIT: never mind.. they look to be the thicker taylor wires. I thought they were sleeved after the fact. I was debating as to whether or not I was going to paint my bay black.. but matching the white body color really makes things pop!

    the torker 2 sucks eggs.. and dependant on you combo.. you'll likely get more top-end out of the deal too. Well worth the swap, IMO. :Handshake
