I mainly used a 4" grinder and cut-off wheel, but I did use an air body saw very minimally due to the fact I only had one blade left. I just marked the hole and made a bunch of pie-cuts to my mark then just cleaned up the edges real nice with the grinder...piece of cake!

Actually I have noticed a small increase in mileage(and I didn't change my driving habits). It's not very accurate but I am getting the same miles out of a tank as I was in the summer months. But so far I was only able to run through two tanks, now it is too cold (well below zero) to get "descent" mileage at all so I'll have to report with actual results later.

Ok i'm a believer! Yes it took time to grined until i used dremil with a wood carving bit. No silincer on 2000xlt lucky i guess? Love this Mod glad i did it before spending big money on cold air intake! Cost $10.71 with tax not bad. The instant feel & sound awsome! Can't wait to get out on open road
