you could always get one made up out of stainless steel ,or maby aluminum if you cant find a cai for it.. There is also a JLT one that i have seen being used on the saleen superchargers ,and it looks good to!! Hope this helps you out

Yeah Thanks that JLT one looks like it will do the trick, and save me a whole lot of cussing while trying to fabricate some alum thing.

.........

Spending money on mods for a car that runs perfectly well to start with = Expensive waste of money.

Who cares if it doesn't make as much power as the other kits. It's still great looking blower, that's stone reliable and makes a heap more power than the stock set up does.

i just dont understand how someone can drop more money than a polished KB would cost for a blower that is half as good. i looked at the saleen blowers before i bought mine and i didnt like the numbers they put down. i've seen s/c saleens put out less than some N/A cars.

To some, guaranteed reliability and a super clean factory look with a matching fit and finish is more important than making the most power available. Besides….the next guy reading this post is wondering how anyone can spend thousands of dollars on a blower when you can add just as much power to a car for less than $1,000 with any of the half dozen nitrous kits on the market today. Different people like different things.

My blower doesn't make the over all power of a KB or most centrifugals either, and it was nearly as expensive....but it promotes perfect drivability, better low speed street manners and a seamless power delivery in an OEM style package. Not to mention the Eaton blower is rock solid reliable and when I pop the hood, I get more head scratching from onlookers than anything. Most importantly I know I’m getting a kit that was designed specifically for my car. I’m sure these and others are the exact reasons why everyone isn’t driving around with the same blower on their car. Different strokes, for different folks.

Not without a lot of work. Most are seeing about 320-350rwhp with them on the '99-up PI cars at about 8psi.

I will have to agree with Saleen......Why would you spend the money on a saleen blower when you can get a polished KB that looks 100x better and will prbly be just as good for everyday driving and make alot more power....I would of gone with the kenne bell blower over teh saleen ,but by all means ,the saleen blower is still a good piece.
