Cool, thanks mate, i can still refund the 12mm Manifold spacer, so you reckon change that in for a Insulator? (12mm or 25mm?)

Would it be worth going 12mm Plenum spacer and 25mm Manifold insulator? That with the CAI. Many people suggest a bigger TB but is that really worth the extra $$? its only a daily drive and im just looking for some more low down torque and a nice note.

Yeah, the 25mm for sure. 12mm will give you the insulation but 25mm will do that and increase the runner length further.

Personally I think the 12mm spacer is less of an issue than is often made out, I say this because my spark plugs have always told me another story. I also believe the larger TB to be a bit of a wank, I'll know that for sure when I whack one on mine as the TB inlet is the smallest part of my 14PSI setup. For N/A though, there's just no possible way your TB is a restriction.

Thanks mate, has helped a lot Going to place an order for the 25mm Insulator right now.

Cheap and easy.

Sort out your ins and outs. So, CAI/manifold spacers for the intake, and headers/100 cell cat/2.5inch exhaust for the outake.

That'll cost you about $1500 installed and manging

DON'T get a high flow cat, they sound crap on the V6. Contact Not_an_abba_fan. he should be able to deliver extractors and a cat back to your door for around $700. Cat back you can fit yourself, and the extractors shouldn't set you back much. Then get some MACE stuff and go from there.

in regards to the bigger TB on a NA v6, put one on my vs a while ago, did not give any more noticible power, but way better throttle response. Wouldnt bother if I had an auto, but ifyou have a manual an like to drive, it is a little piece of awesome
