about 10 minutes ago UPS dropped off my new K&N FIPK... unfortunately, i wont be able to install it for a while b/c i have to write a history paper tonight and have a midterm tomorrow and friday night. once its on ill post pics and let you know how it runs

EDIT: i got it installed today and now my SES light is on and its probably because i drove around the block without plugging in the MAF sensor and attaching the tube to the intake before the throttle body... ill run to autozone in the morning and get it checked out

In the meantime, you can take a look at the pictures i got. i tried to get some pictures of parts thati havent seenin any other picturesso maybe other people can tell exactly what they will need to do
sorry about the pictures being so big (2303x1727) but i dont know how to resize them very well without making them grainy and blurry and the links for thumbnails dont work from this photo site

Nice!

 

Nice, post up pics when its done and tell us how hard it was to install, plus maybe if you can tell if it was worth it. Good Buy!!

 

no problem, im gonna try and get it installed late tonight so ill try and have pics by tomorrorw.

 

Pretty cool! Can you take a pic of where the other side of the shield meets up with the fuse box? What does that side mount to?

 

The heat shield uses the existing airbox mount just like yours in your how-to but it also has another support on it to hold the bottom tube of the intake

i just got a 01 blazer how much did it help and how much did it cost beause i dont know if i want to use k&n just because they are so expensive if i can get a generic one cheaper

i put one on my 98' as of right now its great it really puts out good low end power. i also have an exhaust leak and im lazy so towards the top end i didn't notice to much

 

it seems to help quite a bit. an aftermarket less restrictive exhaust will also help a lot. yeah the K&Ns are a little expensive but mine was only $205 shipped on ebayand thats a lot less than the $260 that summits asking or the $300 that K&N is asking. there are a bunchof generic ones on ebay below $50 but be careful and make sure that you buy one with a heat shield to block engine heat.

 

yeah that the one I'm putting on mineI think...

plus a cat back system and magnaflow exaust and later a new programmer and some headers
