Hey guys, i don't know all that much about different intake pipes & cold air intake, i'm just wondering whether replacing each would actually make a substantial difference. I know that the colder air, the more oxygen, but in such a little engine - I can't imagine more than 5kW increase, if that. Currently I'm running a 4" Drift POD filter with stock intake pipe, as for exhaust i've got extractors (unsure of the brand as they came with it) & a HKS super dragger exhaust - any mods I should do (intake related) that are actually worth the cash?
Cheers.

Re: UAS & CAI
Sounds like you already have a full exhaust system there... That's good!
For the intake system, it would be good to get a better intake pipe.

Re: UAS & CAI
Alright, anything in particular you want to recommend? - and any ideas of what kind of gains i'll actually notice? I'm running it on the dyno next week for the first time, so i'll see what it's doing atm - i'm hoping for around 110-115kw atw.

Re: UAS & CAI
I thought a completely stock fto sat on about 100kw atw, & i thought extractors and upgraded exhaust would be 10kw increase at least - maybe not
Did you ever run yours on the dyno Stef?

Depends on the air temp on the day, your tyre pressure, the fuel you're running etc etc etc.

Oh wow, never thought they'd be that sluggish, it feels like it's still got a fair bit left but i guess only time will tell!
