This looks pretty good, and sounds even better-- I'll have to try playing around with this...

 

here look at these

 

i understand now...

but is there a way to do this mod, or something similar without cutting the stock airbox?

 

nice work sunrise, you work fast!

how does the car sound?

and btw, keep us posted on the 1/4 mile time!

 

hmm...you could take off the bottom part of the air box....thats if you can find a way to make the filter tightly stick to the top part of the air box...

 

yea... took maybe 20min to do... its loud... not a big fan of it being loud, i was looking to get some performance out of it more than anything...

i should be goin back to the track in a couple weeks, ill keep ya updated

 

Anyway you could describe how loud? Like very noticeably louder?

 

yes very much noticeably louder... like.. ppl will know you have intake

 

yea....changing the intake will make it louder.(you can always get another air box from a member here so you can change it whenever you want )

also you should have a quicker throttle response out of it....im not sure if thats gonna reduce the 1/4 mile time tho

 

in mine (automatic) its not that much louder if you dont step on it

its not noticable if you drive normally with windows up


ill try to get a vid clip or something ...and compare it with mike's G5 with injen intake and GM performance exhaust


by the way....mine can now set off car alarms ...lol ......i was revving it next to a parked car and the alarm went off

 

lol im workin on a vid as well lol... my camera battery is completely dead sooo you may beat my to it

 

Haha, okay, mine is automatic too.

Basically I'm in the same boat as you, Penguin. Don't want dad to think it's too loud and been messing around with the engine... that whole situation.

 

haha i know....as long as he doesnt drive behind you ..and you dont step on it when hes in ur car then you'll be fine

but yea i would recommend getting an extra air box ...so you can swap it in 5 mins if you need to

 

<--- auto as well

 

auto should be quieter than a manual coz we dont have that revving down noise

 

For a manual, you can only get that downshift revving noise if you downshift to a lower gear at a higher speed too soon. Otherwise if you drive normally, the car is very quiet when downshifting.

Now, upshifting is a different story as manual requires you to rev the engine a bit higher than automatic. If you don't, you actually labour the engine.

 

not true i an shift mine at 2500 rpms and would be no louder than an automatic but its no fun shifting that low

 

Can't wait to see all the pics of this mod, cheap and no cels

 

I went to play with this today, does the airbox get cut while on the car? I guess so, it doesn't seem very removable otherwise. (Yes, I have the two silver clips unclipped)

Probably a dumb question..

 

no you have to take it off first. theres a tube with a clamp connecting to the air box. loosen that clamp with a flat screw driver, unplug the MAF sensor (unscrew the 2 screws) and there you go, you can take it off

 

Mason, does your camera do audio also?

 

Okay thought so haha. Cutting the damn thing off on the car didn't seem like the right thing to do.

I'll go out and browse around for a K&N 0930 and clamp sometime soon and see what I can do after I get that

 

haha...no.....well it can record comments but i dont think that will do...

do you have a vid cam?....haha coz i dont :P

best thing i can do is record it with my cell

 

today i tried the car with AC on...and i love it! i get a lot better throttle response than i did before the mod with AC on

 

Well I guess Ill have to borrow one somewhere,I just won't know how to get it onto the forums and borrowing it means I will have to get it back right away
