The hoses do get stretched pretty tight so i replaced 2 of them with silicone hoses , i circled them below. the one in the back is the bottom hose on the purge solenoid, also the throttle body wires get pulled tight but nothing to worry about. With the shorter P2R manifold riser they wont be as tight as with the factory riser which is like 1 1/2" tall.

Wow your engine bay looks awesome! May I ask where you located those parts for things like the spark plug covers, ect?

I plan on doing the tl intake swap myself next month. :) can't wait.

Nice! Thanks for the part list. Good work finding all of those parts that fit. You should paint the spark plug wire cover gloss black to give it a more finished look to compliment the rest of your paint job.

Do you have any issues with hood clearances?

Prob the most helpful thread i've seen in awhile. This is awesome man. I will definitely look into purchasing these items. How is everything still running etc? NO CEL? any dynos?

The car runs great, very responsive and the intake roar is louder now :) low end is where you notice it the most but it definitely helped power throughout the rpm band. this would probably help out more in upper rpm's if i had some exhaust mods but im still happy with the results. I ended up removing the IMT valve because it hurt high rpm's and mileage now its much better. no CEL's and no dyno numbers yet but im hoping to dyno it this spring/summer. this is definitely on my top 5 best mods for a V6.

Hey quick question, You say the 6-6 owners should go with the P2R riser instead? why?
Also all the nuts/bolts/ gasket part numbers on the first page are all you need? nothing more? Just curious beacause i saw you adding more to it, mostly dressup.

The motor mounts in the 6-6 raise the engine higher than the automatic so you cant run the full size manifold riser. you can run the Honda riser but you need to machine it to 3/4" for hood clearance, the P2r riser is already the correct height for this so its less hassle to deal with. Everything you need is listed i added the chrome bolts because they wont rust or corrode and just look nicer but they arent necessary you can reuse the old ones. the other parts are purely dressup, they look nicer and are pretty cheap too.
