Intake Options

[Dupain]

A pod filter sitting over the extractors is not a cold air intake.
I wouldn't even consider it an "intake" either. You're just pulling the stock airbox off and shoving a pod filter on.
Illegal in nsw, and I guarantee you will loose power/response/torque.
You will gain noise.

You'll get and increase between 2-3% power/response/torque. Should get a coffee sometime & I call tell you about modding. What was the motive behind putting an NB dash into an NA?

Here you go:

Click me! Apexi Power Intake...

Oh no.... bought the wrong one... or did he?

Not another "fake is fine because the Chinese only build good stuff + how hard can it be to build an air filter" argument.... no....NO..... NO NO....

Let it BEGIN!!!

My plans for tonight have been cancelled, lets see how this plays out haha

The kit on my desk is NA6/8 specific. You'll find Chinese replicas are the universal ones. Heaps of replicas including HKS too.

So 2-3% of 80kw? Wow. I reckon that you'll notice that the car is heaps quicker in a straight line once it's installed. You'll probably be lighting up the rears all the time. Should invest in some 16x10s for the rears, but stagger it to 16x6.5 up front.

Em, you wouldn't know anything about modding would you? And is this the 2nd time someone on this forum has asked you out? I feel a little left out. Nobody's asked me out for coffee yet...

I'm still curious as to why the only person you try to pick on out of the 7 or so people who regularly bash you and point out how much of a dumbass you are just happens to be the only girl. Not only that but you regularly bash on her for things you've read while reading her entire 30-something page build thread, so obviously you had some sort of admiration and interest to have gone to the effort of reading it all... Not to mention, how the hell do you plan on teaching ANYONE about modding when you cant even work a bloody steering wheel???

Thanks for the offer, but I have access to Wikipedia too.

In all fairness, from the pics in the first post he does seem to have the genuine one.

I suppose the Chinese knock off wasn't good enough for his own car.......

Double check the wording on the rim of the cleaner.

Hey, you're right!

But from this post he suggests that the generic one is the only knock off and he got the genuine one....

Did he get stung paying for a genuine one but actually got a Chinese knock-off!!

Are you questioning the decision process of someone who has bought unequal length headers and refuses to accept they might actually be unequal length headers?

[manga_blue]

I'm wondering if we can hook up dupain with djhives. runs and hides from Okibi

[Dupain]

Only way you ca tell is the imprints "2000 0220" and "Made In Korea" and sharp internal cone. As I said, the replicas are the Universal pods. Kits come with heat shield, model specific adaptors.
