costs?

just wondering if anyone who has done this...or anyone else who is in the know, could advise me as to an estimated budget i would need to work to to set up a cold air intake system such as the one described above?

It's around $55 for the scoop and chute, another $35ish for the pre-made bottom half of the airbox that suits, but you can do that yourself if you are keen.

Parts are readily available from holden spares, or from ebay...

Any chance of a guide for pod filters? Or can someone tell me how they sound?

pod filters sound louder, but general opinion has it that they lose power rather than gain, unless done super pro (in a box or so on) heat shielding's of the pod's an issue, you seem to pull hottish air from in the bay.

I have a V6 VS berlina Ecotec and i'm putting a piod filter in this weekend hopefully, ill be encasing it within the box and fitting a cool air intake,, it requires a slight modification to the box,

I.E adding a small joiner pipe into the box which protudes on the interior and exterior.

Basically it makes everything fit nicely and joins everything.

Maybe i'll post some pics and a guide to how I did things.

Hi jafo
No.13. and screw or rivet inlet to shroud
What size screws do you use and do you use washers with them?
Have you got a pic. of them?
P.s. getting lazely in old age.

It all comes in the pack from holden, they are plastic lugs that have plastic screws in them. When you tighten the screws the plastic jug expands and grabs the shroud.
