Steel piping Air intake

[WogBoyz]

wow this thread has got some popularity lol...

but back to the topic when i first changed the intake as mentioned before i noticed an instant change in performance, it was smoother and to me seemed to get from 0-100km quicker (no i didnt put foot to floor), it just seems to have better response all together.

Yea there is the issue of the pipe heating up when at city traffic and ill admit when im sitting in the city my temperature rises pretty dam fast but as someone said as soon as i get moving it goes straight back down (we obviously know why). So MACE and delco correct with what they are saying.

Also wogboyz im glad you like it and also great engine bay lol looks sick.

Now the next few upgrades ill be adding to my car in the next few weeks is the delco tune which is sitting in my house atm, a holden cai (or possibly a MACE cai) and probs extractors.

But with this intake piping as i said im very pleased with it and each to their own, everyone has their own opinion on it

yeah i havnt drove in the city much at all since i got it and i never really go city or sit for long periods so thats sweet :dance:

lol thanks mate urs looks good too

do want me to take more pics of the bay? i dunno if my camera can get any better quality then that lol

Even these pics are great :thumbsup: Just need them in high res thats all

In regards to using a cable tie to replace a hose camp, in the short term it would be fine, however depending on the quality it might be a problem long term. Sadly come across too many crappy cable ties in my time :cry:

yeah mace maybe you can make a replacement maf pipe that is all silicone!
save us people stuffing around with pipes and bends and all that...
plus you could make nice profit coz it costs enough to get the stuff to do this yourself... i got a price for the silicone bend at $80 and repco wanted $39 for the bit of pipe
