I recommend the 3", Get yourself a 3" aluminum intake pipe (noname from ebay is perfect), a 2.5 to 3 inch (62mm to 76mm) rubber reducer (silicone reducers cost 4x more than rubber), sturdy clamps 2.5" (60-70mm) and 3" (70-80mm), and your pod filter is what you spend more on.. I've heard the HKS mushroom filters are the best, K&N conical (pod) filters are up there aswell, but even a $40 simota or wildcat will do the same job and I've heard someone say this before - "buying expensive pod filters is like buying expensive toothpicks."
EDIT: None of our engines use air flow meters, and the aluminum pipe you get should have a 20mm hole for the air temperature sensor to stick in with it's rubber grommet and a 10mm nipple for oil vapor. This post has been edited by delusionz: Nov 4, 2008 - 5:30 AM -------------------- Mike W

I just re-read this. Is this if you want to build a Cold Air Intake (CAI) with the filter ? What do i need to do to just bolt the pod filter straight into the engine bay ? Not too worried about a CAI at this stage, just want the noise. Any help would be appreciated as i'm looking to get one on ASAP. Thanks. |
