Just windering what exactly is degrading, is it the pipe work between the air intake and throttle body? If so, are there aftermarket ones available or is it more of a custom jobby to run the pipe work.CheersJosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could start with Plazmaman, though its not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous owner got the whole intake chromed, I guess this would alleviate this issue? Edited 29/05/07 10:02 AM by jcooke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
