The only correct way that I can think of would be to weld in some aluminum plugs. If you tried to fill the holes with weld, you would heat the housing so hot it would distort. If you started with a filler, a plug of some sort, then tacked it in place and kept heat manageable, it would work in theory and be permanent and safe.

 

The Quicksteel way is proven.

Mine has been in for 10,000 miles... looks the exact same as the day I put it in.

I know 4 people with Grand Prix GTP's running 2.55" to 2.65" pulleys that Quicksteel'd their blowers and have had them that way for 20k to 50k+ miles, and they have all told me that their's looks exactly the same as the day they put it in.

 

USMC...how you like them plugged?? Alot louder??

 

It's not A LOT louder... but as said before, the screaming starts at a lower RPM and is quite a bit more intense.

I throughly enjoy them plugged though.

 

it sounds good plugged. which means you can show off better!

 

Alright sweet...plug the holes and threw a 2.9 on tonight so we will see in the morning how loud

 

Ive had the quick steel in for about 5k miles, and with the magnaflow cat back, the exhaust does not drown it out. I could definitely hear a difference!
In my opinion, if you are going to take the time to put in the quick steel, you should port and polish your SC, and throttle body as well. Good luck!

 

i just got mine tig welded with alum plate over the holes and it cost me like 15 bucks

 

pics?

 

It's just no worth it...get a good intake and port the inlet/outlet and it should be loud enough for ya. There's some risk involved with the plugging and no performance gain.

 

How is it not worth it??? please explain to me why you think the quicksteel will chip off and somehow get through the cores in the intake manifold????

 

its back on but its gonna be coming back off in a few days and ill have pic up
