    OK, I got your attention. Would in be sacrareligious to dress up the engine compartment. I am a bit, underwhelmed by the lack of "show" that the engine has. I am not looking to chrome everything, but would like some advice on what others have done. Also is there any aftermarket "stuff"
    air box covers (CF) polished intake tubes. braided flex intake tubes that others have used and not lost any performance?

    The inlet plenums are the most unattractiv parts in the 348 engine bay, i think. I would change them to a individuel throttle system for each cylinder .. maybe even with oben intakes would look nice. Or two carbon plenums over it connected to the airfilterbox.

    Does that filter setup draw air from the engine bay?

    Well my 355 was dyno'ed at 328bhp at the rear wheels and mines not standard and Andys has a little more in the 330s:D Compare that with the standard 250ish bhp at the rear wheels of a standard 348. He has done an amazing job. I am supprised Andy has not responded to this thread just yet, but i am sure he will.

    I think Andy might actually have a job and do something productive for society during the day.... unlike the rest of us! (chaa, you're excluded. I know your vocation, and you DO work)

    Sorry for the late reply,i dont do a lot but sometimes i have to work.
    You would have to put the componants together,you cant buy a kit,and it wouldnt work with original ECU,it not only adds power but loads of torque,and a great throttle responce,as some CS owners could tell you that ive been on track with lately.They wont, but they could.
    If you want you can still bling the original engine bay.
