its red right, cuz i just changed mine and man it was nasty and did not rattle when u moved it. the 1 i bought from auto zone was black, fits perfect, but it does not matter that its a diffrent then the stock, right? i just can't wait to drive my VX, i have the gps, 919's springs, Botch Platinam +4 spark plugs, all the front lights and the egr valve waiting to arrive in my door step, the dash is all undone and opened up and it looks like sh!*, and the whole front as well. Can't wait to get my parts. i also fixed my ram air to work better in the front and removed the egr valve tube and clean the sh!* out of it and put back on, man it took me 6 hours to remove the tube and only 20 min's to put back on. i want to see how much all this will help horse power re-gain of lost by years of use, smoother ride, better looking and gas re-gain as well. do u guys thikall this will help improve the life and gas of my VX? sorry if i wrote alot of crap, i'm just bored as heck to get my parts and all i have to do right now is wait.
