Vintage Air Center Vent question
Just ordered my Gen IV kit and was wondering how the center vent compares/looks to the stock chrome piece?
I know the side vents are different and plan on replacing with stock type.

Re: Vintage Air Center Vent question
Yes, the center appears to be stock, I could not see any difference in quality or finish and the redesigned plenum makes the airflow through the vent much, much improved. However, the airflow is directed toward the driver, the passenger gets little if any airflow and certainly less air than before from the center vent.

Re: Vintage Air Center Vent question
Make sure you get the adapters if you want to use the stock side vents. The VA ducting is different than stock and I needed adapters to connect the side vents to the duct hose.
