    Cool Vu mace upgrades

    Just installed my first mace products on the w/e. 25mm manifold insulator, 12mm plenum spacer and a CAI and I gotta say man they work well! I read a few mixed reviews but it's def worth the money. I noticed good torque increase but more so in throttle response. Most of that typical ecotec lag is gone. My mate and I took it for a good run after we installed it on sat night. It's changes alot later now and really climbs the whole rev range.had it in first at 80. Took it out last night and when I got back I felt the plenum and it was stone cold! Really happy with it all. I'll post some pics 2moz. Thumbs up to mace.

    It's looks tops!!!

    Would it be possible to email us some high res pics, for us to use in any mag write ups etc?

    The only constructive feedback I can offer is to rotate the MAF 90 degrees to better clear the aircon line

    nice work, id recomend get some alloy or stainless 3inch pipe made up to replace that factory ribbed black hose intake, its also a little bit of a restriction. and putting ur standard (or bigger) OTR CAI back on and plub it into the mace pod box.

    I was actually meaning to ask you that Steve. Would that be a good idea to route the factory intake into the new airbox? Yeah def gonna go some nice pipe as well and polished rocker covers.

    Avoid having it made out of alloy, unless you plan of have heat wrapped good and proper, otherwise it will heat up like crazy during stop start driving
