The two metal pieces CB Performance has, and they come with the rubber
seals. I would bet they have the rubber pieces available seperatly too.

The soft seals are nothing more than foam weather stripping availble at
you local hardware store, home depot, etc...

Wich is better the late or early FI shroud?
The early shroud looks to be better due to the large slot,
But there must be a reason why they changed right?

I have got two late FI shrouds and one normal doghouse shroud with large negative slot, can i remove the venturi and weld it too the normal shroud as too have better cooling?
