    Default SS Inductions V6

    hey guys just wondering if anyone has one of the SS inductions Growler. they reckon you get 11kw increase?
    do they increase cold air intake that much or is it just a gimmick...
    does the kit remove any factory stuff other than the air box and front panel?
    i'd like to invest in one but im not throwing 500-600 bucks into nothing but an induction noise

    IMO it's in no way worth the coin and the gains won't be anything near that much.
    From what I've read and the feedback I've seen, the 2 hole mod is the way to go.

    I fell for the 11kW increase theory too.
    Makes a difference, coupled with a decent exhaust, BP Ultimate, VCM Tune etc., but 11kW is pushin it.
    I got mine for 600 fitted it myself (saved on fitting costs).

    The best thing bout it is the noise of the air being sucked through the induction, and you get that split-second before the exhaust let's out its roar.
    I can spend days just revving my engine to hear that combo lol

    It does, not yet!!
    I've been chompin at the best to get it posted, waiting to get Phreddy to finish the interior before I set it up.
    Keep getting postponed (meant to see him next week, have to delay that too).

    I might just create one and then add to it later.

    Got pics in My Albums under my profile though

    The SS Growler just looks SOOOOOO good. Also MACE engineering on here does a cheaper CAI with the same kinda result, doesnt look as flash but cold air a -plenty. Visually id go the SS but through my research id go the MACE purely cause i dont drive round with my bonnet up.

    There are places who sell SS Inductions Growler cheaper. Just look around. You'll be amazed, look at the ss inductions privateer list and play them off against each other.

    IF ANYONE is reading this and has heard the intake growl from the SS inductions kit and the Mace kit, i would be interested to hear which one you think sounds better. Thanx

    I think if you visit their site, SS Inductions - Performance Automotive Enhancements, they're actually based in Qld, so if you buy it locally, or buy it directly from them, as opposed to going through a wholesaler, you will get a cheaper price.
    You do pay for the convenience of being able to drive 15 minutes and pick one up, although I wouldn't have minded waiting an extra week to save $100

    SS Induction. Hands Down. The growl it delivers is soo much better than Mace, although, and I've only heard and havent used the Mace, the Mace might give you better performance.

    Don't think so, pipe is wider on the v8, that being said Im sure you could do some home remodelling to make it fit
