Yay!

Here's the parts out of the box...

And my engine bay before putting it in...

And after... note the DODGY job connecting the pipe to throttle body. I didn't realise that my TB was 2", and the blue rubber thing was 2.5", so I cut up the original thing... I may live to regret this. Anyone got a spare one? Just for when I sell it.

Sounds heaps louder when sucking in air... Gonna see how she goes.

So far don't know; I just put it on as it started to rain.

I'll test it out on the way to work tomorrow; in all honesty I expect no gains, just a more "braaaaap"y kinda sound.

I mean cmon, it's a 58kw engine with 194,000kms on it. :P

theoritically speaking it is breathing better now so some gains are expectid... maybe mild but it is supposed to show up.

I imagine it'd accelerate quicker (and make more noise) thru 2.5-4.5k rpm.

Im interested to know the characteristics of using the large 3" pipe with a 2" throttle body. With resonance in the pipe, and since the engine must suck thru the capacity of tube to get air - i wonder if you'll feel a small burst around 2-2.5k rpm or so?

As you can see in the last image, I haven't gotten the air intake sensor hooked into the pipe yet, but I'll do that tomorrow afternoon, and then reset my ECU and do an idle learning cycle.

K, so it sounds AWESOME.

Hell angry growl at 2.5->5k rpm. WHOOOOOOOO!

Tim, you're hearing it this weekend.
