Those are our two main themes today.

First up is the snow. Today was the first measurable snowfall of the year for the Chicagoland area, so naturally, everybody forgot how to drive. Don’t fret about hitting the road, though; most people will have mastered the art of driving in the snow by April or so.
Next up is white, a two-parter. The first isn’t technically white, but it’s sandblasted (for painting at the hands of Luci), so it’s got a shiny, snowlike appearance. What we’ve got here is an intake for a Jeep Cherokee SRT8, the same one we featured a while back. It used to have a supercharger installed (by some other garage, not us), but that thing threw out more problems than horsepower, so it was replaced in favor of a regular ol’ intake. This isn’t that regular of an intake, though; the diameter of the cone filter is six inches, and the pipe then moves down to five inches, and it gets smaller one more time before it connects to the manifold. It sounds beastly, and it sure as hell looks the part, too:

Finally, the last white thing in this post is our ever-beloved Hyundai Genesis project car. With Marilynn’s M45 exhaust done (and videos soon to come!), we started putting our heads into the Genesis’ engine bay. We’re currently fabricating a new, equal-length turbo manifold for 'er. Eastway’s currently cutting out some flanges with the Blasocut 4000 (pronounced Blaze-o-cut, it sounds like it’s from a Simpsons episode) and Craig’s hard at work making it all fit together in a proper format. Here’s some shots of the mockup so far:
