Thanks. The RUF bi-plane wing is usually fixed in the up position, but I thought it looked a little too "boy racer" when it was parked so I didi a project where I converted it to be active aero like the upper wing on the Twin Turbos. Now it's more understated when parked and below 77 MPH but lifts automatically for the additional downforce at higher speeds. Here are 2 pics - one with the wing up (older smoke taillights) and one with it layed down with the newer Dectane taillights.

I hear this a lot and there is clearly is some reason to think this could be the case. However, I have monitored intake and ambient temps with both stock and Fabspeed intakes and once you are moving at any speed there is no difference in intake temps. The massive volume of air being sucked through the engine compartment is happening so fast that there is no heating of the air going on in the engine compartment. Now at idle and slow speeds there is a difference, although not as much as you may think, between 15-25°F, but at those speeds it makes zero difference to performance anyway.

I don't see the pics, but depending on how much higher you're trying to get the tips, changing to RSS's semi-solid motor mounts will lift then about 1/4" at the bumper since they don't sag under the weight of the engine like the OEM hydraulic (rubber) ones do. Will also make the car drive and shift better as it keeps the mass of the engine from shifting around under load.

RSS Motor Mounts
mk3boy, did you ever go to the RSS motor mounts to lift the exhaust tips? If so, what did you think of them?
