hey guyss, i have managed to JUST fit my BA airbox into the AU, but i tore that bendy rubber pipe connector, that connects to the other plastic pipe thing that goes to the throttle body.. (with me??) :hihi:
now, i want to chuck all the plastic crap out and go for something bigger and better, i saw some pics in the show us your AU engine bay, and i like the look of some of the polished ones, can anyone tell me where to get a set up from, or should i just stick to the factroy piping? i have been reading lately that bigger aint always better on the AU I6.. is that true? my little brother wants to go a POD setup, but i only got the K&N flat panel filter about 6 months ago and it seems to work well, what have you guys tried.. and what has actually been better? um, if you managed to understand ANY of that, feel free to reply. cheers Rob |

I posted a pic of the pod set up this morning on another thread. I refitted the pod filter back up & reset the computer. I forgot how much throttle response it has over the paper one.

it wasnt hard, it actually doesnt fit, i didnt want to start cutting bits and pieces off the box.
They (au & BA airbox's) are pretty similar, the ba's lid is alot taller, which makes it hard to close the bonnet. i am sorting something out now, then i will take some photos. i want to get maybe a 3.5 inch intake pipe made up by my old mate and see how that goes from the box to he throttle body. buickman, post some more pics in here if you can... |
