It does look and sounds amazing, I'm thinking removing the rubber hose on the stock setup may be a better comparison.

Nothing really new happening with my engines, they are up in heated storage till spring, but there is one sort of cool update. Since I am running the ported intake instead of a trick looking sheetmetal intake, I wanted to try and do something to set it apart from a regular old 496 HO. Our very own 502SS (Jim) graciously offered to make some custom stickers for the covers and Larry at Raylar was happy to send me their logo files. Jim knocked it out of the park, and at least now there is something other than sound to indicate these aren't quite stock motors. What do you guys think?

Love it Matt, I would probably paint the plastic as well...maybe red? After redoing my HOs last year I wanted to dress it up as well. New Cowls, Filters and matching blue Plug Wires help set it apart from the family cruiser motor when the hatches are opened.

Looks good Matt. I like that look. Very unique.

Heres what I did before the Raylar intakes.

Post 173 who made your covers - very nice and IMO the more it is vented the better.

I believe those are F&M Custom Cowlings pieces. I bought a 496 stainless dress up kit from them years ago.

Looks awesome. I love subtle touches like that.

Matt did you have the intake ported locally or did you buy it from Raylar?

Raylar did it. Changed to a 90MM throttle body and 4 bolt flange as well.
