Pipes

Post by JOeJOe »

Im thinking of doing a CAI and changing the air intake pipe, just wondering where I could get chrome pipes and the elbows and how much would it cost on average.

cheers

The kit from Run Motorsport, does that include both the air intake and the CAI? The setup in the link only shows the new air intake setup? or am
i missing something

I like the look of that intake from Run Motorsport. I'll look around if I could get the chrome pipes custom made here in Sydney, if not, then I'll get a kit of Run.

To change it, it's just a matter of unscrewing the stock one and put the kit in yeah?

its much cheaper to get a custom stainless steel pipe made and just use a rubber sleeve and a few hose clamps to secure it.

It looks better then most 'off the shelf' jobs.

You just need to find a factory where they make/manipulate stainless steel pipes and ask them if they can knock you up something =D

u can get them a autobahn as their distributer sells to them however u may need to order it in. The filter itself will cost u $600 and seems that the kit form the UK is much cheaper and will have all the bits u need for your FTO...

I'm getting one myself for both my cars.
