Deckplate mod on 2007 V8?

[HKpre86]

Has anyone tried the deckplate mod on a 2007 V8? It looks as if the elbow could be taken off, but the deckplate would have to be smaller then on the pics I've seen. If you have done it, pics would be nice. Thanks.

anyone?

ive never heard of a 4thgen having this.

I've never heard of anyone doing the deckplate mod on a 4th gen.

LOL let us know how it turns out!:biggrin2:

Well, I gave up.. The 4" deckplate is too large, but the elbow comes off easy enough. Don't think it made much of a difference if any.

Yeah, i wouldn't bother. I read somewhere on here of someone doing it on a 4th gen, it doesn't do anything significant.

It doesn't do anything on any other gens, either. Unless you want that extra sound, I wouldn't even bother. Some people seem to believe the deckplate mod is some magical fountain of HP waiting to erupt.

The mod has questionable real world gains but it adds a little HP and can be closed up for off road water excursions. I have it done but didn't notice any diff but for $15 it wa s hard mod not to do in my spare 30 minutes I had one day.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who was wondering what the heck this possibly could be! LOL

I do not know much about these either, but that looks a little dangerous for the engine...

could a bird or something could get sucked into the engine? (LOL)

That's what the filter is for. I'd much rather do this than get a K&N or other crappy filter system. But then again, I'd rather just stick with the stock intake system.

I know that other aftermarket intake systems cause a drop in low end torque. I'm sure this is the case with this mod (someone correct me on this if I'm wrong).

OK. I get it, I did not know there was a screen/filter there. OK well that looks cool...

 

[RonMAIDEN]

The screen keeps larger debris out of the airbox including birds.

 

[HiVel-JR]

Yes sir, that looks really neat... The other pictures I looked at did not have the screen over the whole, so thats why I thought a bird or something could get in there...

I get it now.... cool
