Thought i would take soops job while he is banned. hahaha Made me lol.

But fair point about the assumption thing, but if you do exactly what someone on an
internet forum tells you to do without getting a second, third or fourth opinion then you
deserve to have your car f*****. My opinion only :)

Mate, seriously, pull your head out of your arse....stop with the defeatest attitude.

We all started where you are, not knowing much and maybe sometimes putting our foot in our mouths. You made an assumption which was wrong, you got called on it, in a pretty negative way (not really the most helpful or supportive way is what I mean) and you instantly went on the defensive saying 'maybe I'll refrain from giving my opinion' - Mate, don't take it like that, grow a set and say 'ah ok, sorry my bad, I stand corrected' - were not here to attack you.

Pick yourself up, delete that ridiculous statement from your sig, and start learning some more stuff about cars because that's obviously what your interested in.

Cheer up mate, but have a cup of concrete at the same time. ;)

Wow, $400 for that.
Talk about cashing in on the OTR craze.

Admittedly it looks better then the factory OTR. <-- epitome of useless.
But if you're dead set on having a "CAI" then make one yourself. It'll cost you about $40 in materials and will swallow up a lazy Saturday arvo.

Quick tip; do a little research on fluid dynamics. Only need to get a gist of the basics. Cold air induction is a little misleading. Its flow more then the colder air you're going to benefit from. So make your design as efficient as possible.
The OTR in the OP's link is little more efficient them the standard setup. Not worth the $400 they want that's for sure. (Looks stupid too)

OTR (OVER THE RADIATOR) COLD AIR INTAKE VT VX VY V6 (eBay item 170386491499 end time 18-Mar-11 05:45:32 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

i found this, not sure if it will be any good or if the bonnet would shut properly?

anyone seen these or even got one?? would it be better than the ones from Mace etc??

cheers everyone :)

I have a similar item to that but mine is connected to a Raptor Supercharger. It's better than the pod filter that came with the kit. I am yet to go searching for a new filter for it and should have a while ago as the filter that it came with was rubbish.
I have had it on the car for well over a year and when I bought it the thing was less than $200 from memory. It looks like the design has been revised since
To make it fit how I wanted I needed to cut back the radiator shroud.
In all it has worked well for what I needed it for.
If I could have kept the stock intake I would have though as I had a modded air box that worked well.

For the price I wouldn't go with it on a stock motor but each to their own
