VT Commodore, V6 Naturally Aspirated. Currently running the standard factory airbox / over the radiator "snorkel" but with a K&N Panel Filter

I know there is plenty of CAI's about but I wonder about grabbing Air from behind the headlight as opposed to outside air from the bonnet gap? So what is the best way?

I have got priced, a K&N Pod with a Carbon Fibre Airbox to take air from the headlight space.. would that be an improvement? I interested in hearing whats been tried and proven?

Cheers,

You don't get any cold air flow from behind the headlight. This is what I've done. $15 from bunnings.

Thats not a give up attitude its truth.

Secondly please don't compare someone modifying their car to the Diggers fighting at Gallipoli.
