Air Intake Mod..???????????

adysiflori · 4th April 2007, 11:31

Ive read a few threads about air intake mods, I didnt fancy cutting mine down (just yet), what Ive done is pulled the front part out from under the slam panel and bent the whole thing so it points down..has anyone tried this ? Im off to give her a run now see if there's any difference.

Well that made no noticeable difference...so Ive cut off the whole thing just behind the corrugated bit, If I have any problems I'll come looking for everyone who advised to cut it off...or maybe I'll try to stick it back together....yes ! maybe that would be best..!

Took a day or two before mine took effect, but has made a huge difference especially in 3rd 4th and 5th

70 upwards ? Isnt that tantamount to speeding?..But if you say so I'll give it a go...!

This maybe a silly question but what exactly are you cutting down?

Would you believe KPH?

No, I thought not......

Actually I only wanted to put the "wot he said" smiley, but the post wasn't long enough for the software, so I had to say something else!
