    Ah I love the CAI! just how I did it with about the same size bits of wood. I also don't know if there's much preformance in that since I put it on in a modified state. But there's No use putting something on stock if it can take some improvement first. That's my motto even if it's only 1rwkw, do that 10 times and you have a V6 no other bolt on V6 is going to touch. May I suggest a corvette servo as your next mod, cheap and awesome, no Commodore should be without one. And get those Advance headers ^ then call up a zoorst shop and get them to order you a new Y pipe

    Short Update
    So i thought it was time for a quick update along with some pictures.

    I have bought some Advance headers and shall be getting the Y piece ordered as soon as i receive some more funds (by the end of the week). So the extractors should be installed by the end of the week.

    I also gave my car a wash today so here are a few pics

    Thats about all for now.

    Ok guys time for a bit of an update.

    Got the advance extractors getting the y piece fitted next tuesday, also fixing up exhaust leak.

    Then next week going to get shift kit stage 2 for nicer firmer shifts.

    Then im onto the supercharger, i will be going SC14, running a 12psi pulley with a front mount intercooler. hoping to get this baby moving alot quicker.

    So stay tuned as soon i will be posting up some dyno graphs, hopefully get one before and after the supercharger.

    advance headers are now fitted, took me most of today to do it all by myself with hardly any knowledge but i got it done.

    Now got a problem on cat wobbling around and scrapping but hopefully fix it tomorrow.

    then bring on the supercharger within the next couple of weeks if i can find one

    You went to the trouble of painting your calliper, but left the rusty disc there.....

    Nah gave up on that idea, VP at the moment is staying as a daily without going extreme on it, wagon is getting the money spent on it.
