Rickdog Member 8 Member For: 14y 1m 15d Posted 21/12/10 08:18 AM Share Posted 21/12/10 08:18 AM Firstly I just wanted to day Gday to all I just bought my 2004 xr6t last week and couldnt be happier. Ive been reading around and it seems that getting a better cold air intake will give me that little bit of power ive seen some selling on ebay and around and have heard that just a xr8 or typhoon one would help I was just wondering if anyone knew of where to get one from. And was curious to whether they still use the flat filter or have to use a pod filter if they dont use the pod does anyone run a pod intake and do they have there advantages.Sorry about all the questions im just very intrigued Heres a pic of my baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XR6 Turbo's ECU has safety features that prevent you from making any worth while power gains without alterting it via a custom tune. It's not like the good old days when you could just add a bleed valve to your rex or skyline. What sort of power do you want? Let us know and we can advise you on the best way to get there.Oh and :hiwelcome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brods Member 433 Member For: 14y 6m 4d Gender: Male Posted 21/12/10 09:13 AM Share Posted 21/12/10 09:13 AM Typhoon intakes normally around 60-90 bux on eBay. Plus a k&n panel filter and remove the middle muffler $100 and that should keep you happy for a while:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
