Talking New intake

Morning all, yesterday I went and got the new intake pipe from air box to throttle body measured up and made and at the moment it is being HPC coated to reduce heat inside pipe, had a hell of a time finding someone to do it in Brissie but finally got it so far its looking good and should give a definite gain a I am inserting a pod air filter inside the box as well, also running new pipiing and scoops from the driving light areas in the front to a new hole on the air box should help I will try and post some photos once done does this sound good, my brother who is a quite a achieved mechanic said the set up is as good or better than the ss induction kit but this has only cost me around 250 max but alot of time best advice investigate and research any improvements as you may find a better way or cheaper with better results

Sounds great, you must show us the results. I'm actually looking into this for the XR8.
