Default My New Mod !!!

For some time now I have been thinking of fitting a proper Cold Air Intake (CAI) system. I already had a pod filter but of course this is somewhat illegal so decided to do the right thing and upgrade.

It is a lot more smoother on take off and certainly I can feel a little bit more extra HP imported from the USA all up cost about A$350.00.

From the pics you will notice I also have an SVT Upper Intake Manifold (UIM).

I have had this for some time now as I was lucky to find one on E-Bay that included a bigger throttle body and all the hardware suitable for mounting. This also has given me a few more HP but all of this pales into insignificance when compared to the HP gain from the exhaust system.

This is as far as I want to go with modifications for the time being although I am toying with the idea of extractors but this will only make it louder so any gain would have to be offset against an additional muffler set up.

More research required on this issue yet.
