- VU II Ute
Ok, firstly i apologise in advance for asking a question on this topic, i CAN use the search tool and i know theres squillions of threads on CAI's. HOWEVER im asking a pretty specific question and i cant seem to find the answer.
SO, i have a vu series II ute and im servicing it and i was going to dump a K&N air filter in there and i thought i might as well go all out and put in a CAI. now i dont want a pod on a pole, firstly because i reckon it makes sense that they are getting warm air, and secondly because i heard theres some legal issues with them. ( i dunno, just going off what a mate told me). i cant really justify hundreds of dollars for an SS system lyk the growler, and from what iv heard, you can get great results from running a pipe down behind the bumper from the stock airbox, AND using a pod filter inside the box as opposed to a panel. this sounds cool but im in QLD and it regularly buckets down with rain so id lyk to know pplz opinions on this system, and whether they think itl suck up a puddle. obviously the alternative to dropping a pipe down behind the bumper is an OTR system, which seems to just be a bigger scoop... i know u can get one from holden and if it works just as well as the pipe but its less likely to cause hydrolock then ill go with that one, but i can only seem to find VS model scoops for the super6 and im wondering if they will fit on my car?
long question, i know. but any answers would be appreciated.
cheers.
