I just received the aFe Magnum FORCE Cold Air Intake System Scoop in red. Really just wanted to add some color under the hood. They say it will improve airflow. Ill tell you it was a lot bigger than i expected it to be when i opened the box ? I am hoping this has no issues installing with the Roush cai. It says works with factory intake or the aFe. But the Roush uses the factory lower box so i believe it ill work no issues. Will find out this weekend LOL

I'd love some pictures of that brake light! Also, do the Morimoto side markers have reflectors?

@Just Awkward

The brake light is pretty cool. It has an aggressive look to it, you can add the rapid flash, and the white light is super bright for reversing or using the bed a night (camping).

The side markers do not have reflectors. They are smoked.

I would go out and get a picture but we are at like 15" of snow and counting.

The difference in the Turbosmart and the UPR is the Turbosmart is an actual BOV. This version is deigned to vent some air to the atmosphere and recirculate the rest. The UPR is a vent to atmosphere spacer that converts the stock bypass valve into a BOV. Which vents all the air to the atmosphere instead of recirculating some. The stock bypass valve recirculates all the air.

The UPR spacer is louder but since it is not recuirculating any air you are acually losing a little bit of power. Not enough that you will notice it if you werent on a dyno.

The spacer is a cheap option for those that just want the sound of a BOV. The turbosmart is the way to go from a performance and looks standpoint.

I'll probably hold off until I get my new lights mounted, but very good to know. Thanks much.
P.S. What is this "snow" thing you speak of?

Absolutely and also a dash cover...I've seen older dashboards in this dry desert heat that were not covered and cracked.
