New K&N Intake Install..., ...A story of pictures... Options

[KAMiX]

I just went and blew some money on a K&N air pod. It's really made a noticable difference to the car (sound and minor hp), and was dead easy to install! I haven't bought any aluminium/stainless piping yet, so the only thing needed to do this is the 3" filter. (note that the stock air piping is 2.5"). Here are the pictures.











Easy Huh!

(the only thing to remember is to insert the air flow meter back into the pipe).

Hey Guys,

I don't know if you have Autobarn in Adelaide but they have can get you pre-formed stainless piping in 3 & 2.5 inch.

I started with a one peice 3 inch elbow pipe which is pretty much the same angle as the factory plastic one except longer. That gets your filter to almost but up with the air vent for the original air box. You could use some of that ducting to send cold air straight into the mouth of your pod. Thats what I'm doing just now.

All you need is the pipe a silicone coupling converter 2.5-3 inch and two good adjustable hose clamps, don't use that stock one that is on the trottle body, its great for the moudled original but didn't create a good seal on the coupling. Of course you need you filter aswell. I actually went with a Simota racing 3 inch Cone filter $49.95 and really no difference from the K&N for this use. All up it cost me $100.

An yes noticed a big difference... Much smoother accel and of course it sounds like a freaking monster all of a sudden... Once it gets to like 2500 revs it starts screaming but at idle its as quiet as a mouse.

Anyway guys Good Luck...

If you like I will post some picks. And if you like I will be happy to source the bits for you if you guys have trouble locating the stuff you need in Adelaide.

Stay safe
