Yeah i put some APC on the valve cover ( i touched it and saw it was "dirty) but the only way i am going to do anything to it is when i have to remove it for something. I may look into a heavy duty metal cleaner and see if i can at least make it look better.
But back on topic the intake is insane, the VVT kicks in harder it seems on mine now. down low i didn't really notice anything and throttle response is about the same. but when i am rolling the power feels much better. The K&N dyno chart seems right, now i am not saying i got 15whp but the power change was def. topend.

The elbow coming off the throttle body looks great. the Gmpp elbow coming off the throttle body looks like garbage, the plastic piece of **** has such a horrible bend in it that I'm sure I could gain some more power by getting a K&N SRI. I don't even think of it as an elbow, but just an adapter = horrible air flow.

the bend isnt that bad on the GMPP IMHO,
if any thing it appears to have more straight of a path then the K&N
