Talking about rotofab
Posted: Sun Feb 04, 2018 2:58 am
Hi guys, after a few weeks of wondering, I decided to keep my 2013 caprice rather than paying several thousands more for a 2014 version. I then got some extra budget and one way I could think of to use them is the roto-fab.
Although the newer caprice-specified version seems to fit well, I really prefer that enclosed filter box and the heat shield which the ss version comes with.
So here comes the questions:
1.Is it gonna be an significant amount of extra work or any special tools/skills needed to put the ss version into our engine bay? If so, what would be the tricky points?
2.Is the sound after the CAI mod "understandable"? Personally I'd rather keep the sound to be relatively quiet, at least doesn't sound like those people who race at 2am.
BTW. I could try to source some parts from China if you guys are interested in. Parts for the buick park avenue. I do like the seats but it seems to be too pricey to ship to US. But for some small parts like the weather strip on body (US gm p/n:92253114, I think most of these on retired ppvs are broken more or less) I could get them for a good price (since ACdelco has lot of their parts made in China)
