    Install looks great considering you have to stick that other pipe from the side for emissions, i would unplug your battery for 10 minutes so your pcm can re read everything if its being that picky and threw a engine light.
    My cold air setup, gotta love impala'ss for being able to stick the filter under the headlight and into the bumper.

    Easy mods: flip your front motor mounts
    get hv3 insert from http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/...ke-Insert.aspx
    get a tuned pcm from http://www.getoverkilled.ca/
    install them at the same time cause hv3 isnt much good without a tune.

    Motor mounts...eh. To each their own, and I will not begin to debate this.
    HV3: If you're looking to stay N/A, definitely. You WILL set a lean code with your CAI AND HV3. You WILL need to tune for it. Even more so if you decide to do the d/p and h/f cat. A tune is REQUIRED for a new cam and valvetrain.
    How you tune or get a tuned PCM is on you, but I'd rather know that the tune is for MY car and will work..FOR MY CAR. Yeah, it's a pain the ass, yeah it's been expensive, but yeah I've REALLY enjoyed the other side of wrenching on my car.

    : CAI, HV3, 2.5" d/p w/h/f cat. Full suspension, PowerSlots w/Hawk HPS, GR2s, Sonar projectors. Needs tune. Awaiting install of FBod brakes.

    Thanks, ya i think ill do that battery thing maybe right now.

    The HV3 insert looks good but the PCM is way to expensive, i know you got to spend money to make the car go fast but the pcms on zzp are like 100$. you guys think i should wait to get the PCM? i make a new thread for performance mods
