aiboart Member 665 Member For: 20y 21d Posted 29/08/07 08:33 PM Share Posted 29/08/07 08:33 PM ive been thinking about putting the F6 lower snorkel on my car its been custom tuned at cv bf six speed auto with about 267 awkw is it worth my time and will doing so f*ck my engine without getting it retuned thanks to anyone who replysHere is some information.When I remove the factory panel filter from the airbox most of the discolouration (90%) is coming from the F6 intake not the std side T intake. I will try to post a picture.So either the airflow from the F6 lower intake is dirtier than the upper intake or most of the flow is from the lower intake. Once the car is up to 80kpm it starts generating power anew - it goes... If this is due to IC airflow and or the kinetic energy of the intake air through the induction system (less boost, less temp, more advance yada yada) I can't measure.Perception say throttle is snappier, but that is perception.Idle induction noise is slightly louder and lower in tone (pleasant).Install and deintall are 5 minute jobs.Regards,aa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you have an F6 cai too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 2m 7d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/02/08 01:41 AM Share Posted 23/02/08 01:41 AM (edited) I run a pod on my F6. It just sits in bottom of the stock box (see pic attached). I know it sucks hot air in, but I just love the sound it makes. I can't get enough of it! Especially the way it sucks from about 2200 to 3000. I find myself driving to work now without music coz I'm too busy listening to the induction. I've got the stock top to the box with a K&N panel stashed in the boot just in case I need to swap it for some extra power, but I much prefer the flutter and sucking noise than 1 or 2 kws.Edit: I love that pipe running straight in though, might copy that!
