Thanks guys!

Intake came in last night and if you are like me you were wondering what the plate on the M370 Intake manifold was for.
Its a metal plate with countersinks at various angles for bolts to seat on because the normal bolt holes have been elongated for the different mounting points. nothing internaly was changed with the manifold. here are some pictures.....

The antenna just unbolts from the inside. just pull the headliner down at the back window and there it is. If I remember correctly there are 2 bolts that hold this plate on and it pulls off through the top and theres a wire that has to be unplugged. Its not hard at all Ive had my roof on my old red coupe wrapped black with my CF hood and trunk. Not sure if your anywhere around Columbus but if so I may be able to help...

Got the intake manifold installed last night.
managed to mess up the paint so ill have to redo that soon....
Butt Dyno likes the new torque. Over all I really like the manifold only took about an hour and a half to install and nothing to tricky,

Nice progress, but I wish you would reconsider the two tone look. The platform is (in my opinion) too classy for that. It really breaks up the flow.

Again, that's just my opinion. So don't take it as an attack or anything.
