MACE Cold Air Intake

[MACE]

Sorry to ask the same question again as others may have, but
What is the economy increase with the VT CAI system? are there any numbers of more economy?
Also are there discounts for JC members by any chance??
I'm looking to get more economy more than anything, as a poor uni student i love my car but petrol these days to say the least costs some stupid amount to fill a 75 liter tank

Fuel economy varies, but I would say around an extra 20ks to the tank with this mod. As for discounts send us a PM and I'll see what we can do

Cheers
Steve

With the CAI mace is providing, very keen seen it all over l67tourqe and JC, wondering once installed, what do you do with the standard OTR air intake, I have a VS statesman, generally do you just leave it off or can you cut a piece out and install the OTR that way?

Or is just behind the headlight enough?

Generally we leave it off but you can modify the box to allow it to still be used. In saying this though I would stick with the way the box currently functions.

iv got the 2hole mcai at the moment, would the mace cai make more of a difference in sound? and is a k&n pod fillter any bigger? and will it fit? or do you recommended using the one supplied?

Hey az_sv6,

In regards to your questions/statements...

"iv got the 2hole mcai at the moment, would the mace cai make more of a difference in sound?"
It certainly would

"and is a k&n pod fillter any bigger? and will it fit?"
You can get the same sized pod that we supply or a larger one. You could get a larger one to fit but you may find that you'll need to do some custom work to get a larger one to fit.

"or do you recommended using the one supplied?"
Definitely! As it's an oil free item, unlike the K&N items which can contaminate the MAF leading the problems. Check out the link below.

If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,
Steve

Just got my CAI from MACE and installed it last night.
After finding out where the VT V8 ignition module goes (thanks for the quick callback Steve!) all went in perfect without a hiccup. started the car in the driveway and the induction noise was immediately noticable.

Jumped in and reversed the car out of the driveway and gave it the first bootful, and i was giggling like a schoolgirl!!
The roar and induction sound is unreal! after a longer drive (and a lot of laughing) its easily noticeable how much sharper throttle reponse is, and there is more pull in the top end. Power delivery across the rev range is a lot smoother also.

After installing it with my mate at his place, once i left, i got a message from him saying "that sounds AWESOME! i'm getting one for my Clubby!) so his is on order today, along with my bored and polished TB from MACE.
If your thinking about doing this to your V8, stop thinking and do it now! the induction roar is worth the price alone, before you start noticing the boost in power and how much smoother it is, and the improved throttle response.

thanks again for everything Steve, cant wait for the TB to come!
