No they're some dark gray color that they came in. I'm thinking about painting them gold or black i'm not really sure.

[ChaosweaveR] · 01-04-2010, 10:26 AM

I'd make 'em gold.

Grandamgtblk99 · 01-04-2010, 01:38 PM

PhantomLover007 · 01-04-2010, 01:40 PM

Black

solutions_auto · 01-04-2010, 05:08 PM

yeah, i'm not sure which one i'm going to go with, but i think both colors would look good.

2000 GT Coupe · 01-04-2010, 11:09 PM

Looks great, I think black, help set off the gold, like the lettering does. Speaking of lettering that looks very good.

Yea they are.

What do you guys thinks about painting the caliper brackets gold with a stripe going long ways down the middle the same color as the "grand am" on the calipers

scott_c83 · 01-05-2010, 07:25 PM

sc/t on them maybe? in the same font

solutions_auto · 01-19-2010, 07:42 PM

Could i just run the MAF sensor on the intake side of the charger like the eaton kit is??

XtremeGaGt00 · 01-19-2010, 07:50 PM

i tried doing that when i had my rsm blower..and it ran like absolute crap because the b.o.v. released all the monitored air and it ran SUPER rich..its gotta be on the boost side ..imo

x2 the maf sensor should be after the bov.

solutions_auto · 01-30-2010, 05:55 AM

JRYAN34 · 01-30-2010, 06:31 AM

As long as you turn off the codes in the pcm, yes. You will see a slight change in fuel mileage and emissions though, as well as an increase in coolant temps at idle and cruise. The EGR system helps control combustion temps under normal driving conditions and closes at WOT. Really unless you are boosting or building a hi-po NA engine, or need the room for some other reason, you are just as well leaving it in. It won't make any real performance difference.
